I have "icc version 14.0.3 (gcc version 4.8.1 compatibility)" here and 
intel compiles the gsl package ok without any compiler warnings.

A few linker warnings, but nothing that looks like a real problem.

In general, the Intel compiler doesn't generate many warnings, even with -Wall,
so I assume its primary purpose is code generation.

I have found gcc + cppcheck + clang a far more powerful combination for 
finding compile time bugs. Valgrind for run time testing, obviously.
