Comment:

 gtk2 and pango both depend on glib2; this is an issue confined to glib2.
 It was exposed by removing indirect dependencies from pkgconfig in #25345,
 but caused by a change where
 [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534319 glib2 moved iconv into
 the private libs]. There have been [https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail
 /openwrt-devel/2010-August/007836.html other remarks] that this change is
 strange. gettext (a.k.a. libintl), at least as built on Mac OS X by
 MacPorts, requires libiconv. Therefore it seems improper for glib2 to
 claim, when asked, that -lintl should be used, but fail to mention that
 -liconv is also required. I believe I will change glib2's pkgconfig file
 to move iconv out of the private libs and back into the public libs again.
