Why would happen if= : one could drop in icc for instance :) (I realize that it's basically : gcc-compatible, but can this be done today without a lot of rework an= d : effort)? This is more about dropping in different assemblers, linkers, etc, than picking icc. CC=3Dxxx is relatively easy. It gets harder if you don't want to use the in-tree toolchain. Especially when cross building... Warner
