--------------------+--------------------
 On Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) a build of ghc @8.8.3 fails at the build
 stage with the following error:

 {{{
 :info:build checking for library containing iconv... no
 :info:build configure: error: iconv is required on non-Windows platforms
 :info:build make[1]: *** [libraries/base/dist-install/package-data.mk]
 Error 1
 }}}

 Full log is attached.

 However, libiconv @1.16_0 is installed (as indirect dependency via gnupg2
 and pkgconfig), so I'm not sure '''why''' it is not found.
