Perhaps you should use gcc?

I don't personally have the time or interest to dig into this.
Considering that PG works fine on several other 64-bit platforms,
it seems unlikely (though not impossible of course) that this is our
bug.

What could be happening is that the RPM packaging involves tools that
aren't compatible with icc. I think you already found that out with
regard to brp-strip, and there may be some more-subtle problems too.
You might try forgetting about RPM entirely and just building from
the source tarball with "configure CC=icc" plus whatever other options
you want.
