PATCH 1/1 fix libicu compilation with GCC-4.4 on mips

Not sure if this one is mips specific or not, but linking fails due to
missing -fPIC on rematch.o.
| /home/grg/oe/tmp/cross/mipsel/lib/gcc/mipsel-angstrom-linux/4.4.1/../../../../mipsel-angstrom-linux/bin/ld: rematch.o: relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `__gnu_local_gp' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Perhaps someone who experienced the (arm specific?) gcc bug mentioned in commit 798c780a3a016e56d9b8849cf8a07521b6e402a9 can confirm this fix does not trigger the same bug?

i will test an arm build for you.
