Hi ,

      This symbol is been defined in "libirc.lib" , So please check if the compiler is trying to link this lib and also if this lib is been linked from the New composer Update that you have installed. You can also refer to this article:- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/unresolved-external-symbol-_intel_sse2_strlen.

In order to find out which libs are being searched, You can use the LINKER option "/VERBOSE:Lib" with linker xilink.exe. If this library is not being LINKED or if its being linked to the older libirc.lib, then you may need to pass the path of the library to the linker using /link option of compiler.

did you follow the suggestion from Sukruth on finding why the old lib is linked?
From your script that you're using an old Intel IPP lib. can you use the Intel IPP coming with Intel C++ Composer XE?
if so, the script can be simplified like:
     "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ipsxe-comp-vars.bat" ia32 vs2008
