Hi Jaipaul,

Thanks for your patch.

It looks like this is failing on riscv:

AssertionError:
Failed ptests:
{'icu': 'START: ptest-runner\n'
...
        'ERROR: Exited from signal Killed (9)\n'
        'DURATION: 1561\n'}

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/56/builds/2672

As usual, qemu is way slower on this platform and might show issues
hidden on other platforms.

Can you work on the issue?
Trevor, any thought about it?

Thanks,
Mathieu
