Dear Stephan,
  Roger has built icu and now I have compiled boost with that, please check whether this fixes the issue (everything pure GNU)

-bash-4.1$ module purge; module load boost/1.69.0
-bash-4.1$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) hpcx/2.2.0          3) gcc/7.2.0           5) icu/63.1
  2) binutils/2.26       4) openmpi.gnu/3.1.2   6) boost/1.69.0

-bash-4.1$ icu-config --cc
gcc 
-bash-4.1$ icu-config --cppflags-dynamic
-DPIC 
-bash-4.1$ icu-config --cppflags
-I/cluster/software/VERSIONS/icu-63.1/include 


And for the other question, yes you can use MKL with GNU. But if you ask Intel they will tell you that you need the intel compiler to get the full benefit of MKL, that is partially true (i.e. an optimized GNU compilation will outperform a lazy intel compilation, an optimized intel compilation will outperform everything else).
