good catch - but that is an issue that is hard to overcome with the 
(almost obsolete) Xeon Phi COprocessors.
Normally you'd build a cross-compile for the Phi on the host system 
using the Intel C/C++ compiler, by adding a flag "-mmic" (or /mmic) to 
the CFLAGS variable.
On Linux, this is easy to do - I have built several versions of OpenSSL 
for the KNC Xeon Phi. For Windows, however, you are stuck between an 
OpenSSL environment which only supports VC and an Intel/Xeon Phi 
environment which insists that you use ICC with the flag "-mmic" .

The question asked by the original poster is better answered on the 
Intel MIC developer forum.
