I've seen that error before, but I'm not aware of anyone finding a=20

causing the problem.

George,
   Thanks. I built with --disable-extras and was able to complete the=20
build.
gmake check however returns:

The 31-bit version built with ICU 3.4 passed all the tests. I'll try
using 3.4 to see if that makes a difference. This might be an ascii/ebcdic
problem. We build ICU a little differently than others on z/OS. Rather=20
than translate the sources to EBCDIC, we leave them ASCII and tag the=20
files.
Then setting =5FBPXK=5FAUTOCVT=3D"ON" we let the system convert them to EBC=
DIC=20
at
runtime. This involves some extra steps when building however to tag
the generated source files correctly.
