 I tried hard to find the why and where but no success , then I cleared
all folders and extracted the source one more time and fired
runConfigureICU.......and then gmake.....and bingo..........it got
ahead of earlier problem but gave up for some "unsatisfied symbols"....
I found those symbols in libstdc++.sl.6 , so I linked that file as
"-lstdc++"........ I got over that error............but finally struck
for some more unresolved symbols......

here are the last lines of gmake output
