Ok, after spending about 5 minutes figuring out what
gdb was and how to use it (did I mention I was
clueless) it looks like it isn't ICU at all!!!!

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00419f6c in new_pmc_header (interpreter=0x100d1d48,
flags=1024) at src/headers.c:251
251             *((Dead_PObj*)pmc)->arena_dod_flag_ptr
|=

Ok, so I naively tried --gc=libc and --gc=malloc and
it didn't seem to help.

So in retrospect, it appears that there are a number
of ways getting ICU playing nice on Cygwin but until
this other issue is resolved they don't matter.  If
anyone is interested in a complete list of recipes I
have used then let me know.

Cheers
