 On amd64 the gmake -d output for the relevant part is:

 On amd64 there is no icudt64b.dat anywhere. I don't know anything about their
 naming conventions, but could it be that 64l is 64bit little endian, and
 64b is 64bit big endian data files?
 
 The build system is .. cryptic, I have trouble finding anything.
