As the one who introduced the ICC parts into cdefs.h: no objections from 
my side. This gained not as much traction than I thought it could have 
gotten. I'm not aware that apart from a handful of enthusiasts someone 
had a look at it.

I'm surprised that someone still looks into compiling FreeBSD with icc, 
and that you have reports about it. We don't have a port of any recent 
icc (we could probably set an expiration date on the old ones).

Bye,
Alexander.
