libicu and other dependency fixes did not make it into 1.1
I'll include a tiny piece of discussion with Microsoft guys last week to give you guys an idea about what we could expect with what kind of roughly estimated timeline (these may be delayed and stuff, lets not be naive)
(TLDR: we may be able to build our packages by the end of this year, or at least before devconf)

As @radka.janek points out, we are working towards having a set of binaries that have larger reach (either via dynamic time weak linking as in ICU or maybe static linking in other cases). Some of the stuff has landed, but there's still open work to be done (e.g. our libssl dependency). The current POR is to have this sorted for 1.2, the hope is to have all the changes landed around the end of this year. For source building, we're making progress there as well. The hope is that by mid-December we have a story for building core-setup (this is the runtime + the shared framework) in an automated process from source (e.g clone dotnet/core, checkout some branch and type build.sh and out pops the tarball for dotnet + the shared framework).
