Hi,
I decided to have a whirl at compiling the linux kernel (specifically, linux-4.7.3) and while I was able to get the kernel to compile, it doesn't boot and/or I am left with a blank screen/ (no boot console, as one would expect to see)... I can't currently putty/ssh into the machine to see if it is just a blank screen or doesn't boot...
Previously, in older version of the Intel compiler, I remember a wrapper script being required, however, this post; https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler/topic/600493 ... seems to indicate that that is no longer needed, but discusses linux 3.18, which is fairly old... As I said, i was able to get the kernel to compile (well, after disabling kvm), but beyond that; it doesn't seem to work.
I'm curious if anyone is using icc to compile linux-4.6+ and has a working kernel? ... I can recompile and capture the entire log from the build. if that is needed (?). There were warning during the build, but afaict, just the typical stuff, like icc not supporting certain gcc flags andor replacing them...nothing stuck out as being problematic / the build was successful...
thanks
