Thanks.

That's exactly what I have as symptom. I installed ICU 2.6 as RPMs (from
the IBM site), then compiled Wine and verified that your program
succeded (it did), then removed the ICU RPMs and retried your program,
and it failed. After just reinstalling the ICU RPMs, it worked again.

So there's a problem with the static linking. Probably it's not enough
(I think there are some data files which are needed also).
