Ok.

I can send an updated patch with libiconv in the inputs. This is when
you use a libc which does not provide a (usable) iconv, which is why
Gentoo provides the option to build it with this too. As we are
_currently_ only providing options to do one libc globally this is not
so inmportant. I will even build uclibc-ng (I am working on that) with
an outside iconv because reportedly their iconv is in bad shape.
So with this information, should I send a new patch which adds libiconv
and the build option?

If you know how to fix it, try to bring it to upstream or include a
patch / substitute phase at our end?
