Patch to enable gzip to use icc

[Comment 2 Jon Portnoy (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 01:57:24 UTC]

In the past it's been determined that the most efficient way to enable ICC support would be either to modify gcc-config to be capable of switching to ICC, or modify Portage itself to deal with it; spyderous had some discussions with einride and Zadeh about this

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 11:12:09 UTC]

As I mentioned on another of these ICC bugs (which vapier ignored me on), the only necessary thing to do is respect CC. For packages that already do so and compile fine with it (such as gzip), nothing is necessary.

Whenever there's a patch needed for ICC to work, instead of 'use icc', what should happen (IMHO) is:

if [ "${CC}" = "icc" ]
then
    apply icc patches, do icc stuff
fi

Since CC will be set to icc by (g)cc-config.
