-Subject: [PATCH] icu/meson: link against iconv when used externally
-
-This basically adds -liconv to LDFLAGS, fixing a linking issue when
-iconv is missing in the libc.
-
-The previous commit fixed finding iconv but did not fix linking.
-
-Switched to using c_compiler for iconv. It seems compiler does not work
-properly.
