FWIW, also, all the Boost.Python tests are passing for me using
Intel8/linux.

I am just using a toolset file that contains:

  {
      local INTEL_LINUX_VERSION = 80 ;
      extends-toolset intel-linux ;
  }

Also, on Intel7/linux the only problems I see have to do with
exception-handling, which I assume is caused by not using an
icc-compiled Python binary.  That looks nothing like the problems
you're seeing (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/5p6eu) which seem to indicate
not only that the build system is not functioning properly (the -v
option is being added to test command-lines after python instead of
after the .py script being tested) and that none of the extension
modules can be loaded due to the missing symbol std::_BADOFF.  I'm
not seeing any of these symptoms either.

My intel7 toolset is, naturally:

  {
      local INTEL_LINUX_VERSION = 70 ;
      extends-toolset intel-linux ;
  }
