Override expansion only takes place at a certain point in bitbake
execution. I suspect some of these variables are being accessed without
override expansion taking place, I'm nearly sure of that happening in
the BB_NUMBER_THREADS case since its a bitbake internal variable.

PARALLEL_MAKE_icecc should work
INHERIT_append_icecc could be problematic, since bitbake handles INHERIT as a special case
ICECC_ENV_EXEC_icecc should work
