2 main methods of doing this:

    CC := $(shell which icc) # Pick up the first Intel compiler, and
provide the exact path.
    CC := icc # Pick up the first Intel compiler in my path.

    Or...

    make CC=icc all

    ... etc.

    See http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Implicit-Variables
for more details.
