Comment (by olly):

 I applied a revised version of the `-xldscope=symbolic` patch to git
 master in [e8696a2542b4bd8f05c3f18c8fe23b6f659e4958].  The "negative
 offset" issue with a shared build is still there, as it the exception
 handling fail.

 There is also a problem I haven't noted before with configure picking up
 libicuc but then the link failing.  I'm assuming this is because libicuc
 has a C++ API but was built with GCC, which presumably isn't ABI
 compatible with Sun C++.  We could try a link test on a simple program in
 configure.  We should also really have a `--without-icu` or similar option
 (currently it seems there isn't a good way - I had to adjust the configure
 test to always fail).
