Does the Intel compiler have its own standard library, e.g., implementations of std::cout etc. I want to adjust everything for Intel.

In a typical case, the C standard library is written primarily in C, and the C++ standard library primarily in C++. To give some concrete numbers, Microsoft's standard library has ~1050 C and C++ files, and 37 assembly language files.
The C++ Standard Library provides several generic containers, functions to use and manipulate these containers, function objects, generic strings and streams (including interactive and file I/O), support for some language features, and functions for everyday tasks such as finding the square root of a number.
The Standard Template Library (STL) is a set of C++ template classes to provide common programming data structures and functions such as lists, stacks, arrays, etc. It is a library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators. It is a generalized library and so, its components are parameterized.
C++ comes with two standard libraries: the old C library (libc. lib), and the new C++ library (libcp. lib), which is logically divided into the stream library, and STL, the standard template library.
Until version 8, ICC shipped with Dinkumware, i.e. the standard library implementation that also ships with Microsoft Visual Studio:
The Intel C++ Compiler for Windows uses the Microsoft Visual C++ header files, libraries and linker. Microsoft controls the header files that define the namespace.
However, as of version 8.1
-cxxlib-gccIs Now the Default for C++
The STL and gcc* C++ libraries are now used by default when linking C++ applications, rather than those from Dinkumware* used in previous releases. If you wish to use the Dinkumware libraries, specify the new switch-cxxlib-icc. In a future release of the Intel C++ Compiler, support for using the Dinkumware libraries will be removed.
By "STL and gcc C++ libraries" one can only assume that they are referring to libstdc++.
