Have you already reported this problem to the developers of icu?
No, I haven’t reported it to them yet. I thought that if this patch didn’t cause any problems with Leopard and beyond within MacPorts, that the ICU developers would accept it more readily.
When I'm looking for patches to commit, I usually see it the other way around: I'm more likely to commit a patch if the developers have already signed off on it. I did apply it locally and verify that it still builds on Mountain Lion, but since I'm not a C programmer and I'm not familiar with the icu source code, I don't feel totally confident committing these changes. Could you report the problem and your patch to the developers so that we can get their input? This problem had already been reported by someone else as [http://bugs .icu-project.org/trac/ticket/9367 ICU ticket 9367]. I’ve added a comment to that ticket directing them here to this patch. Considering the number of outstanding tickets there (as well as the age of many of them), I don’t know what the likelihood might be of getting their input on this patch in a timely fashion.
