My expectations is that any existing dependency set will be managed and 
maintained by the existing primary toolchain, unless a given recipe has a 
specific dependency on a secondary toolchain item.

I.e. the example above will -always- be the primary toolchain from a dependency 
resolution standpoint..

If the recipe adds "virtual/icc", then something, such as icc, needs to exist to 
provide that.

Does this seem like a reasonable behavior and expectation?  (The thing to 
remember is this secondary toolchain is just that.. an alternative to the 
primary for specific users and NOT general purpose....)
