Good news and bad news.
The good news:
The default is to use gtk3 on this platform, so both -disable-gtk
and -enable-gtk3 can be dropped.
Also, although in December I blamed libfreehand for the failure to
build against ICU_65 and the version of libfreehand has not changed,
the internal icu is now 65 and it certainly appears to build with
system icu. Perhaps the dep for libfreehand (librevenge) is
involved. Dunno.
The bad news:
I can't confirm that it will install with system icu because at the
moment I don't want to override my much bigger install from
Wednesday (lots more languages) and I cannot persuade it to do a
DESTDIR install (or distro-pack-install). The distro-install-
scripts seem to know how to handle DESTDIR, but it doesn't seem to
get passed to them.
<sigh/> I'd forgotten what a pain LO can be.

FWIW, so far 5.5.2 seems to be ok.
