Comment:

 Interesting. I thought this problem had been fixed in texlive because it
 installs fine for me (and apparently others) with icu installed. Maybe the
 latest icu port matches the version in texlive but yours is too old.

 That makes me wonder if it's still necessary for texlive to build its own
 icu -- at least at one point it had some non-standard patches, but maybe
 it doesn't anymore.

 I agree that the proper solution is for base to use LIBRARY_PATH and
 C_INCLUDE_PATH (or similar) instead of -L and -I CFLAGS, but who knows
 when that'll happen.
