Neither do I (my network access to icecc pool is slower then my CPUs), 
that's mostly the reason why this was sent only as RFC for other users 
of icecc and external toolchains to comment.

Right now some developers are using separate bbclass for our internal
toolchain, but the only functional difference of that bbclass is
included in this patch. I think it's better to have only one icecc class
compatible with all TCMODEs.

When distro sets EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN then it requires tc to be installed
on each machine doing OE builds already, so this change only takes advantage 
of the same tc when icecc is enabled.
