Ubuntu – udata.cpp: undefined reference to `icudt71_dat'

I am getting an odd ICU related linking error in the now project when building on Ubuntu 22.04.

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/bin/ld: DWARF error: invalid or unhandled FORM value: 0x23
/home/bkey1/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libicuuc.a(udata.ao): in function `openCommonData(char const*, int, UErrorCode*)':
udata.cpp:(.text+0x23f7): undefined reference to `icudt71_dat'
/usr/bin/ld: udata.cpp:(.text+0x2458): undefined reference to `icudt71_dat'

The link command is as follows.

usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/now.dir/link.txt --verbose=1

    First I would like to stress, that there is very little information provided, so the answers such as my own will most likely need to guess what is happening. On the other hand I understand your situation: you cannot include info, that you don’t know is relevant to the topic.

    Answer:
    I would like to draw your attention to the fact, that the symbol icudt71_dat does not appear anywhere in the code directly, but is generated using a macro. (Check …/source/common/unicode/utypes.h) So if the linker complains about not having found such a symbol it most probably means you are linking against a different version of the library than you have a header for. Now I don’t know how specifically this could have happened, I would have to see your system, include path, link path etc. However I strongly suggest to revisit both include and link paths. You could perhaps recompile the library, verify, there is no other version recompile and start again. If the header corresponds to the source, it should work.
