Indeed. For some obscure reason Intel's compiler seems to dislike 
functions named cos_sin. Compiling this innocuous little program:

int cos_sin();
int main()
{
     int x = cos_sin();
}

fails with the same error using ICC 12.0.5.

Switch to one of the excellent free compilers out there: GCC or CLang!

(Please correct me if I'm being unfair to Intel, but GCC and CLang have 
the added benefit that, unlike Intel, their developers really do care 
about improving their product: they both have an open bug reporting 
system and are, in most cases, quite responsive. A bug like this one 
would be trivial to report and get fixed. I even failed reporting the 
bug at Intel's site.)
