I've had a problem in devel/icu building in a 32bit 9.1-RELEASE jail. The same was reported to freebsd-office a few days ago for 9.3. The error message etc. are in this mail: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.office/2501 Copying it over for convenience: Makefile:173: recipe for target 'uconvmsg/root.res' failed gmake[2]: *** [uconvmsg/root.res] Error 1 gmake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/devel/icu/work/icu/source/extra/uconv' Makefile:47: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/devel/icu/work/icu/source/extra' Makefile:141: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 2 ===> Compilation failed unexpectedly. I have removed the patch for 196044 which has let me successfully build ICU and depends. I didn't understand of the ICU make and the actual endianess patch to improve on it :) My guess is that the patch is i386 compatible for FreeBSD 10.x but not on 9.x.

It has been fixed, thanks for reporting
