The latest Intel version is 3.2.18 I have a copy of it I got directly.
but we are under NDA etc. It has a regular BSD copyright header on it
so it looks like it should be ok for them to commit it but
they may not be ready yet.  it only claims to support 4.10+ and 5.4 so 
it is possible it
doesn't support 6.0 or -current yet (there were a lot of changes in the 
-current one done
by people other than Intel and maybe they are having a problem merging 
them back)
That may be why they have not committed it yet.

the ones I can find on the website are 1.7.41 and 1.7.35

the one in -current is 2.1.7
