icu fails to cross build from source, because the native build pass
fails linking -licu-le-hb. It turns out that icu does not Build-Depends:
libicu-le-hb-dev:native, so this is quite expected. Adding the
dependency is not going to help though, because libicu-le-hb-dev Depends
on libicu-dev (which is a problem, see 898571 and #898806) and since
libicu-dev is not M-A:same (see #898820) and is thus not coinstallable.
Yes, you really need to fix the dependency cycle soon.
In the mean time, we can perform the native build pass without
libicu-le-hb-dev. The host build pass still uses the library and thus
cross building succeeds. It still isn't bootstrappable, but being cross
buildable is part of the way. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
