Yes. If you think these files might be important, then you could back them
up first. Apparently they belong to the icu stuff you are going to remerge
anyway, so deleting should be safe I think. But it's strange that those
files do not belong to any package.
Instead of removing them it would be easier to set FEATURES to -collision-
protect. And with FEATURES=keepwork you will not have to recompile icu. So,
I would do this:
FEATURES="-collision-protect keepwork" emerge -1a dev-libs/icu
Remember that you have to delete stuff in /var/tmp/portage/dev-
libs/icu-4.6.1 manually afterwards.
