 Hello.
 Using the legacy system's gcc 4.2, the port devel/icu compiles and 
 installs without error.
 Using clang, the port is not installed properly.
 
 Using a portmaster -f xorg, which triggers the build of all ports 
 neccessary for xorg ports
 matched by the pattern "xorg" results in a stop of the build process. I 
 can not test further
 the proper build of the X11 subsystem without excluding explicitely 
 devel/icu (amongst others).
 
 The error occured does not seem to be "obvious" to me, so reporting this 
 issue by a PR seems the proper
 way.
 
 Can this be fixed so that clang compiles the port and portmaster 
 installes the port properly?
