Bugzilla Bug 210643

openoffice configure attempts to locate genbrk, but fails as it is not
installed:

[snip]
checking for unicode/rbbi.h... checked.
checking for genbrk... no
configure: error: \genbrk\ not found in $PATH, install the icu development tool 
\genbrk""

 * ERROR: app-office/openoffice-2.3.1 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 5422:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       make || die "Build failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   Build failed

Installing dev-libs/icu-3.8.1-r1 fixes the problem. Openoffice seems to be
working fine, have not done extensive testing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openoffice-2.3.1 without icu installed.
2. watch the fireworks.
3. install icu.
4. watch openoffice compile fine.

Just built 2.3.1-r1 on amd64 and it worked fine.
Please mark it stable.

Thanks!
