So is one person's Red Hat from another's, if they're updating their
systems using RHN. Perhaps to a lesser extent, but it is the case.

At least one company I know of has certified specific versions of its
software on Gentoo rather than certifying Gentoo as a whole, and that in
general sounds like the best solution for us. If profiling is the best
implementation of that on our side, so be it.

I am really not a fan of this. What is the problem with icc and portage
right now? Set CC=icc and compile away.

Perhaps this situation could be fixed rather than adding a hack to work
around it.

Thanks,
