Thanks for the patch but AFAICT this is a cosmetic issue that
definitely does not warrant RC severity.  Since 1.25.1-2 gnustep-base
is configured with --disable-icu-config so icu-config is not used to
detect ICU.  This was necessary because icu-config has been removed in
icu/59.1-1 but was reintroduced later.

The package builds fine without icu-config so I'm inclined to close
this bug or at least downgrade the severity.
