From:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu/project/tech_faq.html
comes this list:
PLATFORM and COMPILER
WinNT 4.0 and Win95, Win98 (MSVC)
WinNT 4.0 and Win95, Win98 (VisualAge C++)
Solaris 2.6 (Workshop C++)
RedHat Linux 6.0 (egcs)
MacOS 8.1 (CodeWarrior)
HP-UX 10 and 11 (CC and aCC)
OS/2 (VisualAge C++)
AIX (xlC)
S/390 (CC)
The last .pdf file that I saw that described ICU also mentioned OS/400
(but did seem to confuse that a bit with OS/390). From the icu mailing
list I see regular postings from a *BSD person and a MacOS Darwin person.
I have not tried it myself yet (sigh).
