The above message contained the following:

The configure(1) script creates whatever files in "port/misc" that it
decides are necessary in order to have a Standard Unix compilation
environment.

Good.  Let's try getting rid of the superfluous slashes in the pathname
of the icc(1) compiler's header-file.  Try this

    echo '#include "/opt/intel_cc_80/include/limits.h"' >conftest.c
    echo 'int int_max = INT_MAX;' >>conftest.c
    icc -c conftest.c

If this fails, then you have a severe problem with your compilation
environment and you might need to consult with the icc(1) vendor.

Me too.  Let me know.
