Hello,

Thanks for the patch! It's strange to me why this patch is not reviewed
by Sasha Ti., though there are many changes in the build and testing
infrastructure. Nevertheless, please consider my comments below.

Well... What is the difference from the previous approach?

Minor: Why did you introduce a separate .gitignore instead of adjusting
the root one?

Minor: Why is the name tarantool-env and not e.g. tarantool-static?

I see you've added a comment for this passage, *but* at least for me
Sasha's comment is still left unaddressed. AFAICS Sasha asked whether we
can solve the linkage issue by explicitly setting CMAKE_C{,XX}_COMPILER
variables. If the problem isn't fixed this way, then I guess your
solution is fine.

OK, I see, you've already set the variables I mentioned above. Anyway,
please mention this fact if it doesn't fix the linkage issue (maybe
refer the corresponding place in libicu configure / the issue / etc).

This TEST_COMMAND line looks odd and I guess it need some commenting
with the rationale, since other commands don't have it.

Looks like this line can be dropped.

Typo: bash specifier is missing (considering verbatim blocks below).

Typo: Looks like misindentation.

Minor: OK, since the difference is only in the constant value, the
following way looks more convenient to me:
| local RTLD_DEFAULT = ffi.cast("void *", jit.os == "OSX" and -2LL or 0LL)
