As I said: Change the toolchain version number and you're done.

Lack of resources.  Basically, I'm trying to maintain the easyconfigs
for the tools of the Score-P universe (OPARI2, OTF2, Cube, Score-P,
Scalasca, Vampir).  But this is only a side project, as my main job
is to develop (some of) those tools rather than system administration.
 And we (my boss and I) decided to only maintain easyconfigs for the
foss toolchain.

We do have those tools installed for Intel on our systems, but our
setup differs enough from upstream that we can't simply create a PR
from the easyconfigs we're using without some care.

Yes.  It should be as easy as changing the toolchain in the easyconfig.
