Well, since configure.in has a separate code path for ICC anyway,
it seems like we might as well provide it the official spelling.
Any objections to a patch like this?
if test "$GCC" = yes -a "$ICC" = no; then  CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline"  #
Thesework in some but not all gcc versions  PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-Wdeclaration-after-statement])
PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-Wendif-labels]) # Disable strict-aliasing rules; needed for gcc 3.3+
PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-fno-strict-aliasing])eliftest "$ICC" = yes; then  # Intel's compiler has a
bug/misoptimizationin checking for  # division by NAN (NaN == 0), -mp1 fixes it, so add it to the CFLAGS.
PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-mp1])
