I can hazard a guess, but without more information I can't be too
confident in it. Seeing output from the compiler would be very useful.

On your machine, if mpicc is a wrapper for icc already, then you
shouldn't specify icc on the build command line. By letting charm use
the default mpicc compiler wrapper, you will ensure that the proper
include and link flags are pass to icc.
