Build process ignores --with-icu path on some icu tests?

[hashashin@…]

When bootstrap.sh --with-icu=/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/1.8.1.1, I get in the logs:

1) when testing 'has_icu'

darwin.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/regex/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/has_icu_test.o

"g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -pedantic -g -dynamic -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 -fexceptions -fPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_HAS_ICU=1 -I"." -I"/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/1.8.1.1/include" -c -o "bin.v2/libs/regex/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/has_icu_test.o" "libs/regex/build/has_icu_test.cpp"

Note the -I flag with my icu path.

2) Later, in the same config.log, I see:

darwin.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/locale/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/has_icu_obj.o

"g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -dynamic -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 -fexceptions -fPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/locale/build/darwin-4.2.1/debug/has_icu_obj.o" "libs/locale/src/../build/has_icu_test.cpp"

libs/locale/src/../build/has_icu_test.cpp:12:30: error: unicode/uversion.h: No such file or directory

Note that in this g++ line there is no -I flag with my icu path.

As far as I could dig, the two failing tests are regarding locale library.

The issue is due to ICU (as of 49.1.1) moved includes from source/include folder down to source/i18n and source/common folders. Boost.Locale include directives should be updated I guess.

The workaround is to add include folders to the bjam command line explicitely: bjam include={$ICU_PATH}/source/i18n include={$ICU_PATH}/source/common

Moved to Problem as there is a workaround.
