3 Err I actually thought if icc in the first place and tried to inform myself.
4 I'm not the kind of person (and you should know) who likes breaking
5 unsupported stuff. I think it's reasonable to find a solution that works with
6 ICC, and actually Harald already gave one later in the thread.
7 It's just a matter of fact that we don't have anybody right now to follow what
8 might and might not break this or that unsupported compiler. As soon as there
9 is a single person ready to at least answer to questions about it, the
10 situation changes.

12 I'm just saying that I wouldn't discard entirely a solution just because some
13 unsupported software _might_ not work (note the conditional). I wouldn't
14 discard a solution just because it _might_ not work on GNU/kFreeBSD; I would
15 discard it if I _know for sure_ that it does not work on GNU/kFreeBSD (in
16 which case, knowing it doesn't work, I would look for a working solution).
