can you try to add this patch to the internal ICU build?

i.e. something like

 diff -ur misc/build/icu-unpatched/ misc/build/icu/ > solarisgcc.patch

then add that patch in icu/makefile.mk to the PATCH_FILES variable.

that would allow you to use the internal ICU.

yes that is kind of sub-optimal, but if LO can't use the library on the
system then eventually we'll need to build our bundled one so we can put
it into the installation set anyway...
