[Valgrind-users] Valgrind 3.10.0 support for ICC

[Gregory C. <gcf...@gm...>]

My experiences building with ICC..

#1 it failed out of the box with

checking for a supported version of gcc... no (13.1.3)
configure: error: please use gcc >= 3.0 or clang >= 2.9

I had to make some hacks in ./configure to support ICC

     notclang-13.*)
    { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: ok (${gcc_version})"
>&5
$as_echo "ok (${gcc_version})" >&6; }
    ;;
notclang-14.*)
    { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: ok (${gcc_version})"
>&5
$as_echo "ok (${gcc_version})" >&6; }
    ;;
notclang-14.*)
    { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: ok (${gcc_version})"
>&5
$as_echo "ok (${gcc_version})" >&6; }
    ;;

#2 ICC needs additional libs linked in, but passing them in through LDFLAGS
was not working, as the link_tool_exe_linux wouldn't accept -L or
-Wl,-rpath for -l libs. Had to shoehorn static libs using make LIBS=libX.a

#3 Patrick's patch for missing PTRACE_GETSIGINFO was also applied since
building on SLES10/11

Final build command is
env CXX=/usr/pkgs/icc/13.1.3e/bin/icpc CC=/usr/pkgs/icc/13.1.3e/bin/icc
CFLAGS="-O3 -xHOST" ./configure && make clean && make
LIBS="/usr/pkgs/icc/13.1.3e/lib/intel64/libirc.a"  && make install

Will send feedback on how it runs. Best of luck on the release!
