I've merged this however I'm not 100% happy with this as the final fix.
I'd ask that:

a) The bug remains open (re-prioritised appropriately) about the
remaining issues that still exist in ICU
b) We add something to the ICU recipe which stops it building when the
endianess isn't correct (host matches target) so nobody can built it and
have it not work.

Cheers,

Richard
