Edgy intel compiler problems cause me to bash dash

Hi All,

After upgrading to Edgy final, my Intel 9.0 compilers fail with
the error

zender at virga:~$ icc
export: 27: Illegal option -n

caused by this line in the icc shell script:

export -n IA32ROOT; unset IA32ROOT;

I surmise that dash does not support "export -n" and bash does.

What is the recommended solution?
Should I link /bin/sh to /bin/bash or hand-edit the (now broken) scripts
for applications as I discover them?
Is /bin/sh=dash an experiment that is going to go away next Ubuntu
release or is it here to stay?

Thanks,
Charlie
