well, maybe there are some useless packages. I have installed only
what should be needed for Tex Live (except the autotools). So it's
minimal in that sense.

is there a good reason to use the Build script over configure ?

I had that error once. it seems it has gone, don't know why. I'll
anyway do another builld from scratch (removing msys2 and installing
it again) to be sure it is working.

i prefered not installing icu from msys2 as it should work as is. So
there is something wrong here that needs some fixes
