Follow-up Comment #2:

libgit2 is complaining about not finding `_iconv*' functions! After a fast
search I came up with [1], which says that (as of 2012!) while the iconv
library's functions start with `iconv*', apparently Macports changes the
function names to `_iconv*'. But we aren't doing that here, so I am a little
confused why this is happening. 

But apparently libgit2 has its own implementation of libiconv that it uses if
it can't find libiconv on macOS. So can you add `-DUSE_ICONV=OFF` to the
configuration options of libiconv in high-level.mk
<http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/reproduce.git/tree/reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk#n562>?


This should disable Libgit2's searching for libiconv on macOS systems and
hopefully let libgit2 be built without a problem. Let us know how it goes
;-).
