You cannot get the older BSP to work with newer versions of the compiler like that. Apparently the 19.x versions of the compiler are backward compatible with the BSP shipped with Intel Acceleration Stack v1.2. To enable the backward compatibility, follow the instructions in Section 3.5.1 of this document:

However, many features added in the newer versions of the compiler require a BSP compatible with that version, and such features will not be available with backward compatibility.
