My wild guess is: the glib dependency pulls in the external libiconv (it
has USES iconv:wchar_t) and the "find_package(Iconv)" in upstream's
CMakeLists.txt detects and uses it, although the implementation in base
libc would be sufficient.

I have no idea what would be the best solution though. Just using
iconv:wchar_t would work...
