Now that's confusing / strange. Our machines are running

FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1 (both i386 and amd64)

$ cc --version
FreeBSD clang version 4.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_400/final 297347) (based on
LLVM 4.0.0)
Target: i386-unknown-freebsd11.1
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

I'll try to investigate what could go wrong or if I can reproduce a
successful build on a clean VM.

I wonder if ICU is having some strange interaction with the
environment or installed libraries or whatever. It's well known for
not respecting all the build flags at least.

Thanks a lot for the feedback,
