I was just looking into the icc port on FreeBSD. It tells on freshports site that it does not produce native executables but objects and linux compatibility base is necessary. Is it possible (with cooperation with intel) to completely port icc to FreeBSD (and make it compatible with libc so that it will be possible to compile FreeBSD kernel sometime. I was asking the same question to intel guys (through premier.intel.com which you can register for free) and they haven't heard about FreeBSD port. I don't personally care how "open source" anything is, if it really produces extraordinary machine code in the end. With version 6.0 of icc one would be able to compile linux kernel. I hope with some cooperation one could do the same with FreeBSD. I respect the gcc effort, but if icc is as good as it is told to be then it could supersede (at least in intel community) gcc. What is the general sentiment and the will for cooperation about porting icc to FreeBSD?
