Thanks.

The following is the result from godbolt
(except the beta releases of 21.1.*)


version    __INTEL_COMPILER  __INTEL_COMPILER_UPDATE
13.0.1     1300               (unsupported)
16.0.3     1600               3
17.0.0     1700               0
18.0.0     1800               0
19.0.0     1900               0
19.0.1     1900               0



Presumably, the version string xx.yy.zz corresponds to
__INTEL_COMPILER=xxyy
__INTEL_COMPILER_UPDATE=zz

The output from 19.0.1 does not make sense, though.



BTW, when I tried ICC a few years ago,
I could not build the kernel with it.
