afaik, no. Too many things rely on gcc-specific extensions. |

BUT! if you add "icc" to your USEflags, portage will compile things |

with icc whenever the compile is known not to break. (= |

Most likely. I remember seeing benchmarks showing that gcc is |
| 17 |
dead-slow compared to icc. But then again, other benchmarks can show |

comparable performance. My only advice is to try it out if you really |
| 19 |
want to know. |
