That was about the build environment in CI / cfbot, I think. Jeff was making icu a hard requirement by default, but ICU wasn't installed in a usable way, so the build failed. The patch he referred to was just building ICU during the CI run. I do remember encountering issues with the mkvcbuild.pl build not building against a downloaded modern icu build, but that was just about library naming or directory structure, or such.
