I've tried to compile GStreamer core with ICC for MID device [1] and several
warnings on code had been reported.

In order to have an enviorenment to reproduce the issue it's required to follow
the next steps (tested on Ubuntu Hardy) :

1) Download ICC from [1]
2) Unpack, execute install.sh and answer option 6, chroot install when prompted
3) sudo chroot <installed chroot>
4) apt-get build-dep libgstreamer0.10-0 
5) install cvs and other tools
6) cvs checkout
7) ./autgen.sh --prefix=/usr CC=icc
8) add [2] at end of generated config.h to bypass the errors at gst/parser and
some others in general like extra ';'. I don't where to put this chunk of
exceptions.
9) make

I'm going to provide several patches fixing the issue that will require to be
reviewed and commited by someone else :).
