[ICC 9.0/Redhat 4 IA64] Tests/Examples fail to link
---------------------------------------------------

         Key: STDCXX-173
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-173
     Project: C++ Standard Library
        Type: Bug

  Components: Tests  
 Environment: [ablack@panama examples]$ uname -a

Version 9.0 
    Reporter: Andrew Black
    Priority: Critical


When building tests/examples, the output similar to the following is produced:
icc -Xc -no_cpprt -O2   -w1  -I/build/ablack/stdcxx/include/ansi    -D_RWSTD_USE_CONFIG -I/build/ablack/stdcxx-icc/include -I/build/ablack/stdcxx/include -I/build/ablack/stdcxx/../rwtest -I/build/ablack/stdcxx/../rwtest/include -I/build/ablack/stdcxx/tests/include  -L/build/ablack/stdcxx-icc/rwtest -lrwtest8D  -L/build/ablack/stdcxx-icc/lib -lstd8D   /build/ablack/stdcxx/tests/algorithms/25.heap.cpp /build/ablack/stdcxx-icc/lib/libstd8D.so /build/ablack/stdcxx-icc/rwtest/librwtest8D.a  -Bstatic -lcxa -lunwind -Bdynamic /nfs/packages/mdx/redhat/ia64/compilers/intel/cc_9.0.031/lib/crtxn.o -lm -o 25.heap

Based on comparisions with the compile/link lines used within RCB, it appears to me that the cause of this problem is that the executables aren't being linked with $(ICCDIR)/crtxi.o
Adding this to the begining of the LDLIBS macro and removing it from the end of the LD macro in icc.config appears to resolve the issue on this platform, but I haven't tested it in other places where it was building.

I believe this problem may have arrisen from the fact that tests and examples are compiled in a single step, bypassing the use of the LD macro.  This issue only seems to show up in release builds on this platform, possibly due to optimizer issues.
