If it's still failing, then something else is going on.
If it is, then there's one more thing to try:
1) cd into icu/source/data/out/build
2) Execute this (which will create ja.res in /var/tmp if it succeeds):
../../../tools/genrb/genrb -k -s ../../locales -i . -d /var/tmp ja.txt
If that succeeds, then the above should have also works. If it fails, 
then send me the message it outputs, which should be similar to your 
above-reported output, but with a little additional diagnostic 
information.


Yes, fails!

Hmm, strange indeed. Looking at the ICU code, it appears that it's not 
finding a data file it needs at this stage (the error message is 
misleading)--I wonder if something failed to create it, but 'make' 
continued on?

What ".icu" files are in that directory (icu/source/data/out/build) for 
you? I have these (and I'd expect you'd have "l" rather than "b" in your 
prefix [little v. big endian]):

% ls *.icu
icudt26b_cnvalias.icu   icudt26b_tz.icu         icudt26b_unames.icu
icudt26b_invuca.icu     icudt26b_ucadata.icu    icudt26b_unorm.icu
icudt26b_pnames.icu     icudt26b_uidna.icu      icudt26b_uprops.icu
same files, with l instead of b, as expected.

I believe it's the "*_ucadata.icu" that it's failing to find.

So if that file's missing for you, we need to look for an earlier 
failure in the build. If it's there, then we can do some gdb 
investigating. Starting from the same directory as before:
It is there.
 % gdb ../../../tools/genrb/genrb
