Why is it wrong? That is exactly what the gcc manual refers to them as:
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-7.2.0/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html#g_t_005f_005fsync-Builtins">https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-7.2.0/gcc/_005f_005fsync-Builtins.html#g_t_005f_005fsync-Builtins</a>
<span class="quote">> I'm thinking they should be called "ICC" (the name of the Intel C

We are talking about gcc builtins. Why would we call them "ICC"?
<span class="quote">> or maybe IIPsABI using the initial of the document title,

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".</pre>
