No talking please.

I suggest not doing anything here.

* In 13.0 profiles, >=ICU 59 is masked.
* In 17.0 profiles, <GCC-6 is masked.

I.e., in current profiles the problem should not appear, and in future profiles it will be gone.

If you insist on making your package buildable with ICU 59 and old GCC, adding -std=c++11 (or newer) to CFLAGS somewhere should do the trick. However, the intention of the whole profiles construct is to make such liberal sprinkling of ebuild complications unnecessary.

Not needed anymore.
