it won't work

only a few things will compile with icc since it doesn't fully support gnu extensions to c

There has been an attempt to have all ebuilds that work with icc have "icc" as a possible USE-setting. Perhaps setting "ic" in your USE-flag automatically makes Portage use icc on those ebuilds?
