Yes, the object code should be compatible.

Thanks for the detailed bug report.  Unfortunately, I can't do anything
with it as I don't have the icpc or ifort programs.  Also unfortunately,
in order to get a reproducible test case I would most likely need to
have the libraries, which you are probably not allowed to send me.

The difference in the output appears to be in the strings.  This
suggests that your compilers are behaving differently than I expect with
respect to references to entries in string merge sections.  Can you send
me just the file TestClass.o?  That might be enough for me to see the
problem.
