Hi Edwin,
The attached test does something very similar to GNUstep, and you should
get the same answers. Can you check this out and report back?
To build:
cc test_icu.c `icu-config --ldflags --ldflags-icuio`
My results:
Date Formatted with defaults: 20170914 12:26 p.m.
Date Formatted with defaults: 14 sep. 2017
Date Formatted with defaults: 14 september 2017 12:26:33 GMT-4
Regards
