If possible, the ebuild should be updated to support EAPI5's dependency-aware rebuild logic. At least, when using icu.
I agree with Michael, boost needs dependency-aware rebuild logic. sys-fs/e4rat will crash and burn during boot if boost gets updated without issuing a revdep-rebuild, and the only way I could fix it was to use a rescue disk, chroot, and then rebuild e4rat.
Recent boost versions(from 1.52) has subslot dependency on dev-libs/icu Closing as OBSOLETE
