 UObjectTest utility CLANG build failure

 Hi,
 
 The failure is not limited to clang. It will also occur if you use gcc. :)
 
 excerpt from ${WRKSRC}/test/intltest/uobjtest.cpp:
 
     NumberFormat *nf = NumberFormat::createInstance("de", errorCode);
 
 ...
 
     if (&typeid(*nf) == NULL || typeid(*nf) == typeid(UObject) || typeid(*nf) == typeid(Format) ||
         typeid(*nf) != typeid(DecimalFormat) || typeid(*nf) == typeid(ChoiceFormat) ||
         typeid(*nf) == typeid(emptySet)
     ) {
         errln("typeid(NumberFormat) failed");
     }
 
 The failure was raised by typeid(*nf) != typeid(DecimalFormat).
 However, according to [1], I think it should be ==, not !=.
 That means you could safely ignore this. :)
