I am unable to reproduce this problem, using the current release of
icc -
bill billsuper icc-xml $ icc -V
Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 7.1   Build

In any event, it would appear that your problems are with libtool
rather than with libxml.

I do encounter some problem with the python wrappers using this
compiler, and I shall look into them.
