Apparently the libicu upstream has deprecated use of icu-config and recommends 
pkg-config instead.  Debian has recently decided to stop shipping icu-config 
for obscure distro related reasons.  The Debian libicu maintainer suggests 
this as an alternative (and it works here):

                    cat >makedefs.test.c <<'EOF'
 #include <unicode/uidna.h>

It does bring in a new requirement for pkg-config.  I've no idea how portable 
that is.  Assuming this approach is acceptable, you might want to consider 
this for 3.4.
