Hi Fotis, We have a number of Software developers who use tbb quite extensively, yes they could load tbb separately but in our site it would be preferred to have it automatically included in a toolchain.
I stumbled across this issue because in our internal Software Quality Assurance testing all the ictce toolchain compiler tests fail because we check if tbb is accessible. Yes, I can submit a PR. Thanks, Cormac.
