With intel 2015.1.133 and gcc 5.1.0 in the path, error on make check with cxx interface

[Nick Papior Andersen]

I am trying to compile and make check with these compilers:
intel 2015.1.13
and
gcc 5.1.0 in the path.

Compiling goes fine and everything seems to link correctly.
However make check errors out in the CXX test.

First I get this error message:
./nctst        ./testfile.nc
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid

Secondly I change in file src/libcxx/ncmpiType.cpp:
function inq_type has 'return NULL' which cannot be done using returns of
string (unless it is a pointer, which it isn't)
So I change it to an empty string:
'return ""'
(I am not sure when this is reached, but the error message changes as can
be seen below, hence my suspicion is at that code segment)

Now I recompile and get this alternate error message:
./nctst        ./testfile.nc

There seem to be something fishy with the cxx interface?
I am no expert in cxx... :( So had troubles debugging further...
