If you are going to use the result of your build on the same system, then
the dependency on *.so is just fine. However, if you want to use your
binaries on other linux ditors, the static ICU libraries is the only option:
There are various major version of the ICU among modern linux distors:
from 48 to 54 for now, and they export different set of symbols.

   * download source bundle:
http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1.1/icu4c-4_8_1_1-src.tgz

  * unpack it to some location <dst>

  * cd <dst>/icu/source

  * ./configure --enable-static

  * make

  * sudo make install

  The default prefix /usr/local works fine, the webkit build uses 
pkg-config to locate libraries.

Thanks,
Andrew
