Greetings! I would like to find out which compiler(s) are  
ued (or have been used) to build Illumos for Intel x64.
Does ICC work?  
Thanks!

If you take a look at:

    https://illumos.org/docs/developers/build/

It says:

    "The operating system is currently built with a patched version of GCC 10."

The patches are coordinated in a branch of this repository:

    https://github.com/illumos/gcc/

We also have a document that covers how we maintain our GCC patches:

    https://github.com/illumos/ipd/blob/master/ipd/0007/README.md

I think some folks have experimented with using various Clang
versions, but I don't believe anybody has yet produced a complete
working build of the OS using Clang.


Cheers.

Thanks for the prompt follow   
up and for all the information. 
I guess we will have to try out  
ICC and see what happens.  
   
Thanks!
