Thanks for the report.

First of all, your version of pixman seems to be really old. There were
a lot of improvements since that time, including a few security fixes.
The API/ABI of pixman is very stable and upgrading from 0.22.2 should
be generally problem-free:
    http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libpixman.html

The current pixman git needs at least two fixes for better compatibility
with Intel Compiler:
    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2014-March/003181.html
    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2014-March/003182.html

The massive segmentation fault issues when running the test suite
and using ICC 14.0.0 seem to be TLS related:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `/tmp/pixman/test/.libs/a1-trap-test'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

To get a backtrace like this, it is possible to enable core dumps
("ulimit -c unlimited") and then load the generated core dump in gdb.

However if pixman is configured with --disable-shared option, all the
tests pass. This seems to point to some sort of incompatibility of ICC
with dynamic linking in general and/or with autotools generated wrappers
for test programs. I have not looked into this further.
