Hello all,

The first attached patch resolves some issues that have crept in since
the last cleanup (before ICU) w.r.t. Intel C++ on Linux.  The main
problems are the Linux hintfile's assumption of gcc usage, warnings
about gotos masking variables declarations, and some pedantic type and
return warnings.  In conjunction with a system ICU, this patch is
sufficient to make all normal tests pass again on i386 (still 2 JIT
failures).  A gcc-based compile with the patch applied appears to work
still.

The second [trivial] patch applies to the ICU tree to add Intel C to the
available supported platforms in runConfigureICU (luckily ICU compiles
cleanly under icc).  This obviates the need for a system ICU when the
--icuplatform=LinuxIntelC flag is given to parrot's Configure.  If
anyone has contact with ICU folks, it might be nice to push this
upstream.

Adam
