When GNU gettext is built without iconv() support, it is practically
unusable.

macOS comes with an older version of GNU libiconv preinstalled. The
GNU gettext configuration should have found this preinstalled system
library. If not, that's up to you (or the Brew people) to investigate.
The GNU gettext configuration leaves a config.log as a trace, into
which you can look.
