I am fairly certain that the ld error message is wrong in that it (generically?) refers to hppa1.1. It's not a parallel make problem, or a sys-devel/{distcc,icecream} problem. hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu-ar: creating uconvmsg/libuconvmsg.a uconv.cpp: In function 'int printTransliterators(UBool)':

4.2.1 fails the same way.
Created attachment 196658 [details, diff] icu-4.2.1-pkgdata.patch Please test this patch.

Note to self: AFAIK the pkdata patch only serves to further clarify what is going wrong in the first place, and a gencc patch should really fix the problem.

Happens the same on arm,ia64,s390,sh,sparc
*** Bug 287646 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 206696 [details, diff] pkgdata.patch This patch from Debian works for me
Created attachment 208112 [details, diff] icu-4.2.1-pkgdata-build_data_without_assembly.patch (In reply to comment #9) The majority of these changes conflict with already applied icu-4.2.1-pkgdata.patch. This patch contains additional changes extracted from patch from comment #9.
I applied this patch. It seems to be a workaround, so currently I'm not closing this bug.
That fixes it for HPPA, so stable. Maybe add STABLEREQ to Keywords and get the other arches done...
(In reply to comment #12) Stabilization is already performed in bug #281267.
This bug probably doesn't occur with =dev-libs/icu-4.4*. Please test dev-libs/icu-4.4-r1.
Yes, it works fine on HPPA. I would remove the hppa alias now if I hadn't already done so in early November 2009.
