Comment (by kencu):

 barracuda, can you try building ICU outside of macports with your handmade
 gcc7 (and if that fails, one of the newer ones)?

 Do it like this:

 {{{
 cd ~
 mkdir icutest
 cd icutest
 cp /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/icu/icu4c-67_1-src.tgz ./
 open /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/icu/icu4c-67_1-src.tgz
 cd icu/source
 export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
 }}}
 then use the path to your desired gcc7 in here:
 {{{
 CC="/opt/universal/bin/gcc-mp-7 -m64 -O2" CXX="/opt/universal/bin/g++-mp-7
 -m64 -O2" PYTHON=/opt/universal/bin/python2.7  ./configure
 }}}

 and then do this:
 {{{
 make VERBOSE=1 -j4
 }}}

 and see what happens.

 If any of your gcc versions inside or outside of macports can build icu 64
 bit, let me know.
