Good point. Indeed, libQtCore.so links to
	libicui18n.so.56 => /opt/Qt/5.12.3/gcc_64/lib/./libicui18n.so.56
(0x00007f457026f000)
	libicuuc.so.56 => /opt/Qt/5.12.3/gcc_64/lib/./libicuuc.so.56
(0x00007f456feb7000)
	libicudata.so.56 => /opt/Qt/5.12.3/gcc_64/lib/./libicudata.so.56
(0x00007f456e4d4000)

Now I can see how "-R ." makes sense.

By "Qt does not sip icu" I meant that the Qt source package does not ship
icu, but would use whatever it finds on the build host.
