10.1.015 and 10.1.017 work (except for swscale); there was a bug with
matroskadec on pentium3 that luckily disappeared with the latest changes.
Other bugs exist.
11.0 beta fails with many errors.

You can't compile ffmpeg out of the box with icc if you enable-swscale.
Following patch is a workaround.
