That's expected! My question aimed to check which versions of ICU are  
obviously supported by Fedora 14. If the ICU version in XeTeX is not,  
then Fedora/Red Hat need to do something and send patches upstream to  
the ICU maintainers.

Again, it's not a question whether *any* ICU version is supported by  
Fedora 14. That's true, since many years.


Anyway, it's possible to patch XeTeX that it uses local static  
libraries, it's just not guaranteed that this older or newer version  
of libicu4 meets XeTeX's demands.

On Macs XeTeX has a problem with 64 bit. Can you set CC as a 32-bit  
compiler?


What is in XeTeX sources now that is not already in xetex of TeX Live  
2010?
