Sure, do we know if that ICC compatible? Do we care? There are a

I've folded in, it seems that works but if we care about ICC those
folks should perhaps help review as well.

I didn't know the kernel could even be compiled with ICC? Thought
only GCC worked?

Anyhow - it may be that those fixes were for quite old ICC versions.
Does the latest one manifest these oddities?

I haven't tested building iPXE with icc for some time. (The support for icc was originally added with the plan to be able to compile to EFI Byte Code; this plan was swiftly abandoned.)

The most recent version of icc that I have personally used with that code was 10.1.018.
