5 It is possible, but I'm not sure if icc is installed in a way that
6 makes it convenient. All the binaries will need to be lumped in a
7 directory by themselves (like we do with gcc). You'll have to create
8 your own profile in /etc/eselect/compiler.

13 No, this isn't something I considered a high priority. I was more
14 interested in tackling the issues road-blocking multilib, but this is
15 something that would be a nice feature down the road.
