Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:4 barracuda156]:
 > As for the first issue, trying to build `icu` as universal asks for
 universal `llvm-3.3`

 I wouldn't have expected that. The icu portfile makes no mention of llvm
 nor specific compiler requirements, other than including the
 clang_dependency portgroup, which just means that icu is a dependency of
 some versions of clang, which means that MacPorts may not choose those
 newer clang compilers to compile icu since that would be a circular
 dependency.

 What's the dependency chain leading from icu to llvm-3.3? The output of
 `port rdeps icu` should show us. On my Catalina system, icu depends on no
 other ports, but that may be different on other system versions,
 especially earlier systems.

 clang doesn't work on PowerPC, so if the port is thinking it should be
 building with some version of clang on PowerPC, that would be wrong...
