	The C compiler is required only when the support libraries need to
build too.  In this case, if you want to build them using icc as well (it's
desirable but not mandatory) you can also pass additional options to the
configure command-line:  CC=icc CFLAGS="-O3 -ip"

	It could make your binary somewhat faster, since the default icc
optimization level seems -O2 (in fact -O but the icc help page says that
-O2 and -O1/-O are equivalent).  Probably not so critical either.

	Thanks!  One of the major goal for POV-Ray 3.6 for Unix was exactly
that: make it build out-of-the-box.  I'm glad it does also work on some
architecture/environment I had no chance to test myself.
