Comment (by Roland Haas):

Hmm, these may be causes by a change in C++ where constexpr and const are not longer implying each other, though why it would only happen for you with Intel17 I am not sure. Could be the same library mismatch as in #2457 but I kind of doubt it.
I took a look at the reference for the function call (min) in question: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/random/linear_congruential_engine/min and it is declared as

static constexpr result_type min();

so the compiler error seems odd. The only thing I can think of is that either the C++ standard library used (incorrectly) does not declare it as constexpr, or that the compiler gets confused b/c I am calling a static class function via an object.

I will try and see if minstd_rand::minx() works instead, assuming I can find a cluster where I can reproduce the issue.
