When installing ICU, shared libs are built but no static libs. As a matter of fact to build ICU static libs, you need to explicitly enable it during "./configure" operation by adding "--enable-static" option. An easy way to fix this is to add "static" flag to the ICU ebuild.

No, use flags are wrong, it should install both without any flags.
