Yeah, I think we need to do that, and not only for musl.  There are
folks for whom the iconv in libc is missing or inadequate and they use
an additional iconv(3) implementation which may not be the same as
iconv(1) (or vice versa).

Granted, as far as we know this option is only needed for musl, but that
doesn't mean there aren't other environments where this is a problem,
only that we don't yet know about them.
