I know, but it's not like distutils is alone in making errors. Though, I will admit, I wasn't really aware of what that cling thing was until now. It seems to me that this is cling running scripts (perhaps a test-phase of the build?) so it doesn't really seem like a good idea to drop all (icpc) flags that aren't compatible with their LLVM based Cling plugin, as it would affect the rest of the build as well. I couldn't spot any obvious way where cling would select a linker command, so it's probably builtin somehow, so cleaning up LDFLAGS for this step seems like the only obvious way forward.
