selected Use ICU transcoder option. Build thread safe version of library.

I got an error
"/usr/bin/ld: can not find -lgcc_pic"

>Fix:
For this we need to manually modify "files/filepatch-src-xercesc-Makefile.incl" and change "-lgcc_pic" to "-lgcc" 

I think there is no gcc_pic in FreeBSD

Basically I think this patch needs to be removed now
