Ok, next stupid question? Has anyone thought of doing a Linux
distribution based around using the Intel compiler? Or is this something
that is forbidden by their license? Are there just too many differences
between GCC and the Intel for this to be an easy thing?
In recompiling things, what parts of the system are you concentrating
on? Kernel things? Just audio processing? Or is the goal to produce a
working system around the Intel compiler?
Thanks,
Mike
