    >  nm: icudt46l_dat.o: File format not recognized

On my basic gnu/linux build, I see lines like this in
source/Work/build.log when searching for "icudt46l_dat":

pkgdata: gcc   -g  -c
-I/home/texlive/karl/Build/source/Work/libs/icu/../../../libs/icu/icu-4.6/common
-I../common -DPIC -fPIC -o ./out/tmp/icudt46l_dat.o ./out/tmp/icudt46l_dat.s
pkgdata: ar r ../lib/libicudata.a ./out/tmp/icudt46l_dat.o
pkgdata: ranlib ../lib/libicudata.a

It was not immediately apparent to me how icudt46l_dat.s was created.
It's not in the source tree.  Anyway, whenever I see assembler showing
up explicitly, I become unsurprised that it doesn't work on platform xyz.
It's only surprising when it works at all.

Perhaps we simply can't support xetex on kfreebsd-amd64.  That doesn't
sound too disastrous.  If you configure with --disable-xetex, does the
build go through?  (Not sure if anything else requires icu.)

Thanks,
