When I worked a bit with icc, I found out that it was just stricter than gcc, but all the changes needed to be done for icc was right also for gcc (and usually stopped gcc from throw a warning on something). Probably with gcc4 many of the errors are now shared by both compilers as it turned up even more strict than before.
