Yep, there are too many differences. The Intel Compiler can't compile
the kernel yet, anyway. Ok this would be no problem, build the kernel
with gcc and the rest with intel. For instance, the Intel compiler can't
compile qt. One of my colleagues here tried but failed. You even got to
change the source sometimes...
So forget about it at the present time.
Cheers, Alex
