           Summary: hardcoded /usr/lib/libsicu*.a breaks biarch builds
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-patches
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: rmh at aybabtu.com


The configure check for libsicu{uc,data}.a assumes these libraries can only be
found on /usr/lib or in a directory provided by the user.  This breaks build on
multiarch systems, where /usr/lib/libsicu*.a are 64-bit, and 32-bit libraries
are available elsewhere.  Depending on the system's binutils, this can result in
build failure or in libicu functionality being disabled (see
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-04/msg00370.html).

Fortunately, wine doesn't need to know how to find the 32-bit lib directory,
because the toolchain is already capable of finding it.  Having a fallback value
of "-lsicu*" is enough to grant the library will be static, since libicu uses
this "s" prefix to differenciate static libs.
