i tried number of times to compile, but i did not. similar issue is here, https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/5853 i did not know until i found above link. and i do not know even if there are another packages 'build failure' affected by icu-61.1. please check whether this problem is only affected to php or also another packages.
another packages 'build failure' -> another packages have 'build failure' * mistypo.
Have you tested PHP 7.1.17 and 7.2.5? They supposedly have a fix in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/710284cbc4a54cac0a9ec4ea29a7486e0d99a33b 5.6 and 7.0 branches are nearing End Of Life so they currently don't have this patch. Not sure if it is worth backporting either change and just restricting the icu version for the old versions.
Please do the backport at least for 5.6 branch if it's not too much hassle.

It seems this is the last blocker for ICU 61, can we consider this fixed?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #5) > It seems this is the last blocker for ICU 61, can we consider this fixed? So long as icu-60.x remains until the new year, this is done.
