The firebird specific libraries (fb builds its own versions

really?  it bundles its own ICU?  argh... can you teach it to use the
LO's ICU instead?  no reason why we'd need to ship 2 sets of ICU libraries.

As I was writing in the wiki:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/Base/FirebirdSQL#Compilation

We may hit some problems if we use LO's or systems ICU with the table
indexes.

I think the safest would actually be to use always FB's internal ICU
copy but other possible approaches are possible in order to face this
problem.

I think you are thinking too short.

Nnote that most distros will simply build with
system-firebird. (and whatever THAT one is built against - looks
like that it's *external* ICU here:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libfbembed2.5)
...

That's why in the initial discussions we were already talking about
removing the possibility of "system-firebird" and always using an
internal compilation:

http://firebird.1100200.n4.nabble.com/Firebird-as-backend-in-LibreOffice-td4633330.html

Of course, maybe other options that I've not taken into account are
better.
