When using the --with-icu option without specifying the directory, boost's
bootstrap.sh script will look at "common" locations (lines 289-294):

    COMMON_ICU_PATHS="/usr /usr/local /sw"
    for p in $COMMON_ICU_PATHS; do
      if test -r $p/include/unicode/utypes.h; then
        ICU_ROOT=$p
      fi
    done

With buildroot it may surely become problematic at some point.

This looks sensible. However, it doesn't explain how Boost could have
been finding ICU before your patch. Any idea?

The answer to this question may be in the following lines of bootstrap.sh.  If
ICU is not found in any of those "common" locations, then bjam is called
without any -sICU_PATH option and it may be that it finds the correct location
automatically (by using passed LDFLAGS or something).

I started using Boost with ICU very recently, so I can't tell from my own
experience if this is what happens indeed.

Ok, makes sense. Thank you!
