> Yes you can build it with iconv support from libc.
Thank you for the confirmation. I just realized that my digging about the iconv
addition was incorrect. Linking with iconv was added with commit a23dfd2 to
base/BUILD.gn, commit bfedd5f moved the library reference to
third_party/maldoca/BUILD.gn.

That is a reasonable stance. Still, I am not sure that chromium must link with
iconv only because a dependency uses it. I checked the direct dependencies and
the "culprit" is devel/glib20. Since libiconv is available because of glib20
the chromium build process simply picks it up. I believe avoiding the libiconv
dependency with the help of LIBICONV_PLUG would be reasonable. However, the
decision how iconv should be handled, is your call.
