The modified waf tree is here (assuming you are using ns-3-dev):

    https://code.launchpad.net/~gjc/waf/cmd<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Egjc/waf/cmd>

This is documented in the file doc/build.txt in ns-3.

If you get it to compile with icc, consider submitting a patch to upstream
waf:

  http://code.google.com/p/waf/issues/list

So that I will later merge from waf to import your changes.
