There's a command line switch to change the C compiler: -pgmc icc. But I doubt whether you could use icc as the back-end for GHC without quite a lot of work, because the mangler is quite picky. Linking object files created by icc into a ghc-compiled program should work fine, though. Automatic vectorisation of loops won't help GHC (the code we generate doesn't have any loops).

Yes, thats exactly what I mean. Can I switch the compiler to use with a command line switch? ICC is compatible with GCC and can use the same libraries. The main advantage is the automatic vectorisation of loops, to use SSE / MMX.

Do you mean is it possible to get /GHC/ to use /ICC/? Otherwise I don't understand the question.
