ICU 78 genrb failure on Solaris x86

[David Ritter]

Hello!

I'm attempting to build and test the ICU on Solaris 11.4 x86 using the GCC 13.2 compiler distributed by Oracle.

I am able to compile all the libraries however when I execute `gmake check` I am getting this error when generating the testdata with genrb:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib:../../stubdata:../../tools/ctestfw:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  ../../bin/genrb -q -i ../../data/out/build -s ../../../icu/source/test/testdata -d ../../test/testdata/out/build conversion.txt
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib:../../stubdata:../../tools/ctestfw:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  ../../bin/genrb -s ../../../icu/source/test/testdata -eUTF-16BE -d ../../test/testdata/out/build encoded.utf16be
../../icu/source/common/ucnv_io.cpp:254
../../bin/genrb: can not initialize ICU.  status = U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR
gmake[2]: *** [../../test/testdata/rules.mk:72: ../../test/testdata/out/build/encoded.res] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/build/ritter/build_64/test/testdata'
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:73: all-recursive] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/build/ritter/build_64/test'
gmake: *** [Makefile:153: check-recursive] Error 2

I think this may be a variant of https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-23263 but I haven't been able to confirm it other than I can confirm the new check code is what is triggering the error.

What is confusing to me is builds using Linux 64-bit and even Solaris SPARC do not exhibit this issue.

Has anyone else seen this? I am unable to log into the JIRA project to file a new bug or update ICU-23263. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Dave Ritter

Oh cool. I have applied the patch from the PR and it does address the runtime error I observed on Solaris 11.4 x86.

Thank you,

Dave
