 The Intel C++ compiler should have static libraries built with xiar not ar
 on Linux, probably on OSX as well but I don't know about that for sure.
 Without this static libraries built with -ipo (inter procedural
 optimizations) are non-usable.  I'm attaching a partial patch for this,
 but note that:

 * It's only a partial solution since the Intel setup script isn't called
 before calling xiar - I couldn't figure out how to achieve that.
 * Compiled executables often don't run - again the Intel setup script
 needs to be run before the executable so that Intel's shared libraries can
 be found.  One workaround would be to always link with the -static-intel
 flag.
