This is GCC on Gentoo: gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4
3.2.3-r4, propolice).
Since the ICU static libs (".a"s) have C++ inside, we need to link with 
a C++-aware linking. Try setting:

  link => 'c++'

in config/init/hints/linux.pl and see if that fixes it. The error 
you're getting looks like that's what happening.
