I don't think thats correct. The Intel Compiler claims support for most GCC
features, except where explicitly stated in the release notes, and I don't find
any documentation clearly excepting the constructor attribute from that list.
That said, since the intel compiler isn't open, I don't have access to it and
cannot confirm either way, though if its the case, the DPDK has a major issue,
as __attribute__((constructor)) is used extensively throughout the code
