Hi,

I have similar concerns for building on a set-top box environment, and 
have prepared a patch series to fix build with a light ICU.
This has been initially done on WebKitForWayland, but it applies to any 
port.

See the following bugs:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154479
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154482
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154483
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154484

With proper stripping, ICU lib/resources can be around 3.5 MB.

Hope this helps
