Ok, something like this was committed as 41953; closing this
patch as out-of-date.

Well, it probably can be done but that would really require
a completely different patch. I unfortunately have not had
the time to produce such a patch.

Hmm. I would really like to see something still more
general, but am willing to commit this if you assert that
nothing more general exists.

Eg. what if somebody links /usr/bin/cc to icc? You really
should find out whether the compiler *is* ICC, not whether
its name is icc (or, better yet, whether the compiler really
does support -OPT:Olimit). For example, if 'icc --version'
prints "Intel Compiler version 9.0" or some such, that would
be a reliable test for icc.

OK, here's another attempt at it that uses the autoconf
AS_BASENAME macro. Additionally it removes libm from the
default libraries if you are using icc. Intel has their own
math library which is automatically linked, and using -lm
causes problems.

Sorry this took so long--anonymous CVS access had been down
for several days.

This test is too weak. If CC is, say, "/opt/intel/bin/icc",
the test would fail, right?

So please come up with a separate test to determine if the
compiler is icc, and then skip the entire test whether it
accepts -OPT:Olimit.
