Details:

If you try to build gui with an alternative version of ICU, the configure
script is able to detect the version you are using and set up the library
directory and extra ICU libraries to use.

Unfortunately it fails to set the correct header directory path during the
build, so the build actually uses the stock system headers (or I suppose if
there are none, it will fail during compilation).

If it builds the library, it then fails to build the tools.
eg.
Making all for tool set_show_service...
 Linking tool set_show_service ...
../Source/./obj/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to
`u_strFromUTF32_4_2'
../Source/./obj/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `u_charName_4_2'
../Source/./obj/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to
`u_enumCharNames_4_2'
../Source/./obj/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to
`u_getPropertyValueName_4_2'
../Source/./obj/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to
`u_getIntPropertyValue_4_2'
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
make[3]: *** [obj/set_show_service] Error 1

I think this is because different versions of the ICU headers redefine
functions to have different names … the above are version 4.2 functions (the
stock install on my current system), but the build should have been using 4.6
