I don't wanted to imply it isn't possible. I just had said what I read
somewhere on www.intel.com at the time I downloaded icc (last year). It
was mainly because of some gcc attributes which aren't supported by icc.

I just startet a LINT compile (-current as of ~2 hours ago) with icc,
expect the compile log to appear at http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ as
soon as it finishes.
I also will include a list of generated object files at the end of the
log.

Bye,
Alexander.
