 From what I can tell, yes.  The only issue I see is that Intel's web  
site recommends using libstdc++.so.5 and we have both libstdc++.so  
versions 5.0.7 and 6.0.3.  I suppose it could be an issue with using  
version 6.0.3.

With link=static, I reran the entire set of intel-linux-10 tests.   
The tests ran to completion and the regex_regress test passed.  I'll  
start posting intel-linux-10.0 results for the trunk with link=static.

Thanks for the help.
