Installing just the MySQL Client using icc

I started out today doing what I thought was a simple task; Install the MySQL client using Intel's compiler. In my environment, we like to install the client software so it is generally available to everyone and the server software on the actual physical box. We feel this gives us the flexibility to upgrade the servers indendently from all the programs.

I've compiled the 5.0.16 software using gcc about a dozen times already and other than a few simple tweaks here and there, it was a no-brainer. When I installed the client, I used gcc instead of the preferred (in my environment) icc.

I started by issuing a "make clean" to remove any builds I did before. I then changed my CC and CXX environment variables to point to the icc compiler and did:

$ configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql_client

On my first try I encountered errors that were looking for "__cxa_pure_virtual". I googled and found this which gave me some additional things to do. Sure enough, this solved my "__cxa_pure_virtual" problem, but now I have more errors:

$ export CC=icc
$ export CXX=icc
$ export CFLAGS="-O3 -unroll2 -ip -mp -no-gcc -restrict"
$ export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -unroll2 -ip -mp -no-gcc -restrict"

and then I configure with the following options:

$ ./configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql_client --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile --enable-assembler --disable-shared --with-client-ldflags=-all-static

I then run "make clean" to clean out any failed compiles and it runs fine.

I then run just "make" and it chugs along for a while, but then exits with errors like:

mkdir .libs
icc -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -O3 -unroll2 -ip -mp -no-gcc -restrict

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Obviously, I'm missing a reference to __gxx_personality_v0, but where do I get that from? Maybe one of my other libaries is out of date? If anybody has any hints, I'd appreciate you sharing them at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,59295,59295#msg-59295.
