duane>Hmm, ICC-MAKE is interesting - and not really documented at 
allI've done a bit more investigation about this.

I've done some more investigation, (downloaded and installed it).

My conclusion is this:
    There is no possible way the ICC supplied 'make' tool "imakew.exe" 
is used to build
    any part of ethernut internal libraries and stuff like that. See 
'however' below.

Reason:
    Most, if not all ICC makefiles in NUT require and use some form of:

                 'include makefragement.mak"

Background:
The ICC make program does not support 'include makefragment.mak' in any 
way shape or form.

however:

I do believe that the ICC-Make program imakew.exe is used in a limited way.

Specifically
    The ICC gui/ide generates a very simplistic makefile
    (its documentation says that it does)
    The ICC gui/ide invokes imakew.exe which never processes any NUT 
makefiles

Thus - it's GNU make for everything... :-)
