Why is it wrong? That is exactly what the gcc manual refers to them as:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-7.2.0/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html#g_t_005f_005fsync-Builtins

We are talking about gcc builtins. Why would we call them "ICC"?

The gcc manual says they should not be used for new code. So I don't see the
point of coming up with any name other than something intended to discourage
use of them like "legacy" or "obsolete".
