I'm not set up to deal with bzr and stuff at the mo to do the build
but the fix that is needed is to modify configure.ac to only get the
libs to link from icu-config

i.e. ICU_LIBS=`$ICU_CONFIG --ldflags-libsonly`

The icu package has been fixed to not leak the pie flags so it should
build ok with the current libicu-dev in sid, but this change is still
useful.

Funnily enough, this helped spot the same problem in grcompiler.

Thanks,
Daniel
