I may answer to myself that there is a specific 52 package made by 
Dagobert! Thus most probably an update would not break anything. 
However, it does not compile:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC   -DU_HAVE_ELF_H=1 -DU_HAVE_ATOMIC=0  -I. -I./.. 
-I../common -I./unicode  -DU_ATTRIBUTE_DEPRECATED=

By guess is that somehow the MAX values are not defined, I don't think 
this is a Sun vs. GCC issue, but an OS issue.
