Well, grepping for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in solenv/gbuild gives...
gb_Helper_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR := LD_LIBRARY_PATH among other things and
grepping for gb_Helper_set_ld_path gives...
gb_Helper_set_ld_path :=
$(gb_Helper_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR)="$(OUTDIR_FOR_BUILD)/lib" among other
things so that's probably where its coming from, that
gb_Helper_set_ld_path thing.

But if you're building with a "system" icu, hopefully configuring with
--with-system-icu with /opt/your/system/icu/bin in the path would
*hopefully* set enough magic smoke to make it work, but I guess its
quite possible that noone jumped through all the hoops to make it work
out of the box for non-standard install locations of a system icu.

Maybe just setting a LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/your/system/icu/lib before a
configure --with-system-icu or some such might be sufficient.
