Don't use converters/libiconv. Since you use Linux, you probably already
have a glibc with a working iconv.

And fix the builtin.mk so it is not used for Linux.

Also, consider not using gettext-libs too. Since you probably have glibc.

I'd try deinstalling libiconv and gettext-libs. (And make them never
install again.)

I use Linux. I do not use libiconv and I do not use gettext-libs. If I
really need gettext-provided tools, I use the wip/gettext-tools package
(which is newer).
