[New-bugs-announce] [issue28584] ICC compiler check is too permissive

[Carmelo Piccione]

New submission from Carmelo Piccione:

if the ${CC} variable has an encoded path which contains "icc" anywhere in the string, it will be interpreted by the configure script as an icc compiler rather than gcc. This is due to matching on *icc* in various places.

Example: "/home/cpiccion/.linuxbrew/bin/gcc" will match because of the "cpiccion".

This is also true for the other patterns, including "gcc".

Proposed fix is to take the basename of the ${CC} variable first.
