[boost] Any Intel on Linux Gurus (help wanted with toolset for 8.1)?

Apparently from Intel 8.1 onwards, we can no longer link C++ programs with icc as the current intel-linux toolset does: icc is now Intel's equivalent to gcc and performs a C only link, we need to use icpc to link C++ programs (and ideally to compile them as well, although icc currently still recognises C++ source and internally calls icpc). So here's the big question - does anyone have access to Intel 6 and/or 7 on Linux and do these also have icpc? If they do, then this is a no-brainer change to the toolset, but if not then we're going to have to get creative :-| Thanks, John.
