Aha - that's progress.

Pity the above all choke on it, though! At least the bash error  
messages clearly confirm that it's an empty "for...in...; do" that  
leads to the problem.

tcsh (or any other csh-based shell) is definitely not going to work;  
the Makefiles require a Bourne-like shell.

OK. Now that we better understand what's going on, I expect we can  
patch around it.

I guess it's not a problem in normal ICU builds because they don't  
have empty lists of resources, but for the private build in TL we  
omit a bunch of resources such as collation tables that aren't used  
by xetex.

I'll try to look into this a bit more in the coming week. Thanks for  
your persistence! :)
