Clang is fine. I doubt that icc compiles LTP at present unless it does
support GNU extensions.

Some of this is solved by -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 or some other macro (we
need multiple). However it doesn't end there:
make STDCFLAGS='-std=c2x -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700'
make -C "lib" \
-f "/home/rich/qa/ltp/lib/Makefile" all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/rich/qa/ltp/lib'
In file included from ../include/old/test.h:37,
from get_path.c:41:
get_path.c: In function ‘tst_get_path’:
../include/tst_minmax.h:10:9: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘typeof’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
10 | typeof(a) _a = (a); \
| ^~~~~~
We probably also use 'x ?: y' and stuff like that.
So this opens up a rats nest basically.
