[A rather late reply, I finally got some time to look into some of this.]

AFAIK the 'z' modifier is an OSI C99 feature, and icc is apparently meant to
be a c99 compiler.. it has flags to switch c99 mode on and off etc. (c99 is
default). I haven't found anything in the documented list of incompatibilities.
I have asked on the Intel support forum list if this should be regarded as a
bug in icc. No replies yet, will report later if I get any.

When I tried to reproduce this yesterday, it came out all clear.. so it looked
like whatever was done the last day had fixed the problem. Looking at last
night's builds however, it seems that the 154 test case error is gone, and the
88 one happened on only one of the Tru64 builds. Oh, and on one of the IRIX
builds..
I also read today's posting <Pine.LNX.4.58.0404160922050.3576_at_linux3.contactor.se>
which indicates that 88 is actually case 91 all over again.. and it is not
consistent.
What about that 154 error? It looked fairly consistent (happened on all the
Tru64 builds since before Easter I think), is it fixed? Or just randomly
gone?
Anyway, I'll run my autobuild script a bunch of times to see what happens
(in mail-off mode ;-)
