Seems like it is impossible to link icu4c using brew after latest OS X update. Which makes things more interesting. The only solution I found working for me:

1. Download and compile icu4c 62.1 to /usr/local/icu4c/62.1

mkdir ~/sources
cd ~/sources
wget http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/62.1/icu4c-62_1-src.tgz
tar xvzf icu4c-62_1-src.tgz
cd icu/source/

sudo mkdir /usr/local/icu4c/62.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/icu4c/62.1
make
sudo make install

2. Link libs:

ln -s /usr/local/icu4c/62.1/lib/*.dylib /usr/local/include/

3. Set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.bash_profile:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/include
