B2 doesn't generally use those environment variables as they cause problems
in multi-configuration building that is designed with. And generally they
are problematic for reproducing builds. Instead you need to tell B2 where
the ICU library is located. Boost.Locale has instructions on that here <
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_87_0/libs/locale/doc/html/building_boost_locale.html#bb_build_opts
