I went down the route of doing ICC builds a few years ago ( 2009 ) - and
had the entire CentOS-5 LAMP stack done, but was unable to get the nod
from Intel that what was being attempted was within their legal and aup
terms. Its a massive grey area, unless you have the license to
distribute the builds ( which is what mysql had ) - and its not cheap.

Months of chasing intel's legal team resulted in nothing. So I gave up.
Let us know how you get on.
