I thought ICU contained some C++ files.  As to why we care, you might need different
libraries for c versus c++.  For example, the Solaris c++ man page has this note:
    By default, the CC driver passes the following -l options to ld:

        -lC -lC_mtstubs -lm -lw -lcx -lc

There are likely other issues too, but that's the first one that comes to mind.
