Gcc version 13.4 is expected to get released in about four to six weeks
and that will be the trigger for Cygwin to update from gcc-12 soon
after. As gcc-13 has been available as a test version based on the
weekly snapshots on Cygwin continually since September 2023 I plan to
only have a brief gap between the test release and switching it to
current.
As things stand I will include the locale patches from Takashi Yano for
libstdc++, which in their current form will make libiconv-devel a new
requirement for the gcc-core package as it's going to be part of the
compiler driver specification. While I'd like to avoid that and limit
this requirement to g++ / libstadc++, it's light enough to not hold up
the update over this issue (after all on other systems that's part of
the system libc anyway). But if anyboday has a suggestion on how to
resolve this, please come forward.
Back in Feb 2024, I reported that gcc package appears to have added
a dependency on libintl-devel [1]. In that thread, Brian noted the
dependency was libintl8 and libiconv2 [2] (instead of libintl-devel).

It seems gcc/ld needs lib{iconv,intl}-devel to find lib{iconv2,intl8}.
Does that make sense?
