Actually, I've no idea =) looks like it's an incidental ICU tool that is compiled; whether it is actually -used- would need further investigation. Assuming it is not used (quite possible) - then not-compiling that thing is (perhaps) an easy first step to improve things. git grep genrb suggests that it's not used. Any chance you could look into that ? I assume we are re-using ICU's internal make stuff and we need to patch more bits out that are not used. > then run norton antivirus against that folder > It will remove genrb.exe Most interesting; so - I guess failing the "don't compile it" easy hack - it might be interesting to binary chop the 'virus' compiled out of the pristine ICU source ;-) perhaps we could use it as a tiny fingerprint to write a "lame virus checker" detector.
