Building 2.2 with the Intel icc compiler

Has anyone built Python 2.2 with the new Intel C/C++ compiler icc?  I
configured Python and then edited the Makefile by hand to use icc and icc
options.  Python builds but the modules all report errors (and then remove
themselves).

This compiler generates code that is roughly 30% faster than gcc.  Check

Any thoughts?
