Bug 276098 – [WPE][cross-toolchain-helper] Fix issue with the icu installation and long paths

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

There is a bug libicu that causes libicu to be installed incorrectly when the build system uses long paths (around 500 or more chars).

This was reported to icu here https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22813 and also summitted a PR here https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/pull/3058

The issue ended causing that nodejs couldn't run properly on the build system because icu was unproperly installed, making the chromium build fail which was introduced in 280438@main

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

The buildbots have a basepath larger than any developer machine. For example "/home/buildbot/worker/WPE-Linux-RPi4-64bits-Mesa-Release-Perf-Build/build" and that explains why this wasn't caught before.

Example of failed build: https://build.webkit.org/#/builders/894/builds/12478 
There you can see nodejs throwing an error related to ICU
