Me too, but in certain situations a faster code is much more important. >Now the links are set up so your 'makes' will all use icc. Maybe a bit "hard" solution, I plan to use icc only for few compiles, but it's not important. another scrips will suffice. >I think if Intel had any reasonable amount of business sense, they would >open-source the compiler. The advantage of having a compiler that would >really use the Pentium architecture would sell lots of chips--probably recover a huge amount of market share lost to AMD. >But since it is closed source, it is unlikely to be used in linux projects. You can write them. There's a chance they will open it. Anyway, Microsoft is not kind for the being of a free highly optimized compiler under linux, open or not. But I am, at least sometime (LAME, GIMP, data crunching, ... of course for the kernel... ONLY GCC!) Thank you again Olaf
