Let me be very clear about this: there are absolutely no hardcoded 
dependencies to ICU, looking though your build script I see that you have 
invoked bjam twice: the first invocation succeeds, the second fails because 
someone has added HAVE_ICU to the build environment, so the Jamfile just 
trusts that ICU is really there and attemps to build in support for it.

Actually even if ICU is present this will fail: you have to decide to build 
either with or without ICU support in regex, you can't sit the two options 
side by side at present and build both (because the libs and object files 
all have the same name).  That's something I should fix, but in the mean 
time I believe your problem is caused by your build script.

HTH, John.
