[PyQt] -KPIC option removed in icc 10.1 ?

[Glen W. Mabey]

Hello,

I'm getting an error in building sip 4.7.5 with icc:

icpc  -o sip main.o transform.o gencode.o export.o heap.o parser.o
lexer.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gmabey/src/DiamondBack/Diamondback/src/sip-4.7.5/sipgen'

The man page for icc reveals:

   Removed Options
       The following options are removed in this release of the compiler:
<snip>
       -Kpic, -KPIC
            Suggested replacement -fpic.

that is, for icc version 10.1.015.  I'm unsure whether -fPIC is
supported in earlier versions of icc.

Also, it looks like the CXX= arg that I passed on the command line
didn't get used in all cases ... ??

Thank you,
