	sounds good to me.

	We have to edit the patch; icc is one of our 'external' components, so
we have the pristine source archive, and then patch it with our internal
patch as part of the build.

	So - we would need to alter the patch. That leads to some diffs of
diffs problem, but ... hopefully there is some --with-system-icc variant
that could be used, if indeed the patches don't change its behaviour in
some unpleasant way.

	HTH,

		Michael.
