22 USE=icu should not be needed globally. This is how it works here:
23
24 $ grep icu -r /etc/portage
25 /etc/portage/package.use/sys:>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2 icu abi_x86_32
26 /etc/portage/package.use/clients:www-client/firefox system-cairo system-icu
27 system-jpeg system-libvpx system-sqlite
28 /etc/portage/package.use/xorg:>=dev-libs/icu-54.1-r1 abi_x86_32
29 /etc/portage/package.use/media:>=media-libs/harfbuzz-0.9.41 abi_x86_32 icu
30 /etc/portage/package.use/Qt:dev-qt/qtwebkit icu
