identifies itself as GCC, but doesn't support the same extended
assembly features/misfeatures as GCC. With the help of the Intel
compiler group, we've determined that the Intel compiler can be
identified at compile time by the definition of the preprocessor
variable __INTEL_COMPILER.
These changes make all of the assembly code currently written to
simply avoid the Intel compiler.
This is an interim solution to get a build working despite the
Intel compiler. A more correct solution has been identified, see
the discussion of bug #147013 for more information.
