speed up canned small-icu build #7253
Description
Version: HEAD
Platform: !win (at this point)
Subsystem: deps/icu
When using canned small-icu (the default for configure && make), AND on little endian systems, we can avoid building some things we're currently building.
This isn't a great speedup, but it does:
- reduce the number of files to compile from about 2,130 to 1,901 - so about 11% of the files reduced
- On my test machine, a compile went from 27m17s to 25m55s - so about 5%
- Reduce a few of the system headers needed (maybe) in some scenarios such as Failed to compile from source for armv7l (busybox) on #7173
(details: in this scenario, only genccode needs to be compiled on the ICU side, and it doesn't need the i18n or io libraries).

let me know if there's any interest in this. It speeds up the default for people doing
configureso could be worthwhile.mscdex commentedon Jun 10, 2016
Anything to speed up build time is good IMHO, even if it's not a speedup on all platforms.

@mscdex thanks.

What's the status on this?
srl295 commentedon Jan 16, 2017
@jasnell probably nothing that wouldn't still build, just needs testing.

close this in favor of #19214 (we won't want to do both!)
