@boegel The logic looks good.
A few comments/questions:

• Is the GCCCore dependency loaded when this is executed? (to make sure to use the right gcc)
• Maybe you can update the comment (to not only refer to x86_64-linux-gnu)

I have not tested it though.

@boegel What's the easiest way to install this branch to try it?

Yes, logic looks good. Will try to take it for a test spin if i get enough time tomorrow.

@besserox That really depends on your setup, you can just try and inject the code added to module_generator.py in https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2294/files#diff-8cdd2ad54096882655bd836265e8e26b, and then download the updated icc.py and use --include-easyblocks icc.py...

After fixing the stupid mistake in the original PR, this seems to be working as intended; tested on in a Singularity container running Debian 9.1 using icc-2017.2.174-GCC-6.3.0-2.27.eb

This should be good to go now that easybuilders/easybuild-framework#2294 is merged, pending confirmation from @akesandgren & @besserox...

Yeah, my from-pr of #4618 worked with the framework/easyblock changes from this morning.

@boegel I've got a busy week. I won't have time to try it soon.

And it worked with the new update_path based prepend/append_path framework too.
