The -liconv was first introduced to fix uclibc builds. I've noticed this 
patch broke glibc builds. However, I thought utx fixed this in Revision: 
574e65dc4315f62dd912ceca4784d203ccc5fae0. But, I didn't clear my tmp and 
verify it.

Regarding your solution, the concern is that we don't want to add the 
unnecessary libiconv dependency for glibc builds.
