Intel icc finds too many errors in guile 1.8.8 to compile

[I . Gutheil]

Hello all,
did anyone try to compile the guile codes with another compiler but the gcc?
When I tried to use the icc, I got
gen-scmconfig.c(257): error #279: controlling expression is constant
    if (SCM_I_GSC_C_INLINE)
        ^

gen-scmconfig.c(321): error #279: controlling expression is constant
    if (SCM_I_GSC_T_INT64)
        ^

gen-scmconfig.c(333): error #279: controlling expression is constant
    if (SCM_I_GSC_T_UINT64)
So I had to change the
    if (SCM_I_GSC_T_UINT64)
to
#ifdef (SCM_I_GSC_T_UINT64)
#else
#endif
because these directives had nun-numerical values.

The next problem occured with


debug.c(62): error #188: enumerated type mixed with another type
    scm_dynwind_begin (0);

This could be "corrected" by declaring
in dynwind.h
SCM_API void scm_dynwind_begin (int) instead of the derived datatype
which could only be 1
and in dynwind.c

void
scm_dynwind_begin (int flags)
...

I get a lot of remarks that

 operands are evaluated in unspecified order

and
remark #193: zero used for undefined preprocessing identifier
"HAVE_SYS_STDTYPES_H"
 (for example)

but finally I came to a compiler error which I could not correct:

eval.c(4114): error #589: transfer of control bypasses initialization of:
            variable "orig_sym" (declared at line 4038)
       goto handle_a_macro;
       ^

And just for eval.c I get about 700 remarks like
eval.c(6021): remark #981: operands are evaluated in unspecified order
      return SCM_I_XEVAL (x, env);
             ^
(which is the last one)

So I think I have to switch to gcc and just accept what gcc is making of
that code??

Any better idea?

P.S. I do not use the guile package myself but I want to install it for
someone who wants to use meep on a Nehalem Cluster here in Juelich.

Sincerely

Inge Gutheil
