I tried to reproduce your problem on an Itanium cluster at U.Waterloo, by
installing and trying out GAP-4.4.12 there, but it just works...
(gcc-4.1.2, the usual GAP optimisation level (O2?))

Should I try building Sage there?

(Indeed, it does not really work with Intel's icc 10.1 (only O0, which
is too slow), but
do you need icc that badly? We can look into this, if needed, it's
probably a minor assembler
issue...)

Here are the details of the working setup:
