Description:
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql utility which is shipped as part of mysql-standard-4.1.3-beta-pc-linux-i686-icc
distribution is dynamically linked, so it has dependencies on some icc-specific libaries.
This makes this utility unusable on systems which don't have them installed...

How to repeat:
Just inspect ldd output for mysql_tzinfo_to_sql utility which comes into mysql-standard-4.1.3-beta-pc-linux-i686-icc binary distribution...

Suggested fix:
Probably we should link mysql_tzinfo_to_sql statically on those platforms where other client binaries are built statically because of similar problems...

I fixed this one for the 4.1 tree already:

ChangeSet@1.1936.11.1, 2004-07-30 13:52:44+02:00, lenz@mysql.com
   - added the MYSQL_EXTRA_LDFLAGS to the mysql_tzinfo_to_sql link
     flags to enable static linking (to avoid having a shared lib
     dependency in the Linux RPMs)
