Here is what I hope is an error which is *separate* from the one 
reported earlier.  On my Darwin/PPC box, I do not have ICU installed. 
This is correctly detected during configuration and its absence has 
never caused tests of trunk to fail.

However, when I go to run 'make smoke' or 'make test' in the gc_massacre 
branch (r49247), I immediately run into problems:

[gc_massacre] 505 $ makesmolderparrot.pl gc_massacre
# kid51's wrapper around 'make smoke'
make -C docs
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

./parrot -o t/op/testlib/test_strings.pbc t/op/testlib/test_strings.pir

make: *** [t/op/testlib/test_strings.pbc] Error 1
Finished

[gc_massacre] 506 $ make test
make -C docs
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
./parrot -o t/op/testlib/test_strings.pbc t/op/testlib/test_strings.pir
no ICU lib loaded
make: *** [t/op/testlib/test_strings.pbc] Error 1

In either case, this result followed a succesful (albeit 10% slower than 
trunk) 'make'.

Thank you very much.
