Description
#1732 contains changes that make FDB compile with icc. However, due to what seems to be a compiler bug in icc, the resulting binary doesn't work (fdb crashes early).
Currently this is a low priority item, but eventually we might want to support that compiler to check whether we can use icc to get better performance.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the changes in #1732 and reproducing the Intel Compiler build and early runtime crash described here. Done means FoundationDB both compiles with icc and produces a working binary; the issue does not identify specific files or tests.
