Sorry, I was not clear due to my bad English. I meant that the
problem must be fixed in the given file.

I think it might be related to how the python is compiled, see also
note below.

Ah, ok. See the output of `setup.py build_ext --help-compiler` for the
valid compiler types for --compiler=. Note that when you are trying
to use Intel compiler as C compiler then your Python should be
compiled with Intel compiler as well. If not then you are pretty
much alone with all the issues that can merge from trying to
mix C object codes generated with different C compilers.
