Comment (by cave-canem):

 Hello '''Ken'''!

 Notes (or Disclaimer):

 Since my English is very poor, I am not sure that I understand my
 counterpart well, and I am also not sure that I successfully (correctly)
 convey my thoughts to the interlocutor.

 beyond your ability to fix it, it looks like.

 But my High Sierra (10.13.6, build 17G14042, Darwin 17.7.0) is practically
 a '''virgin OS''', and if I allowed myself to frolic (play pranks) in
 Mavericks, then in High Sierra I did not.

 I installed all ports (with the exception of unusual variants) exclusively
 through binary assemblies - this applies to ALL compilers.

 Moreover, if I install "icu" and "libxml2"  from binaries (not sources),
 there will be no problems.

 This allows me to conclude that "it's not me who messed up", but that
 "'''Something is rotten in the state of Denmark'''".
