Yes, FB 3.0 is already built with -std=c++11 so that it doesn't have
problem with new ICU.

That's why I think this isn't much problem for distribution packages;
only latest versions of distribution have ICU >= 59.1 and those are
likely to have switched to FB3 already.

It's a problem for people who build Firebird 2.5 for new distributions
themselves, though. The workaround defining UCHAR_TYPE is probably the
best way to go at the moment. I just wanted to point out that more
problems with ICU can be expected in the future.
