this won't fly in musl community.

whereas you've removed it's use from util-linux. I'm not bothered

in order to build a lot of software we would need some sort of iconv
implementation
letting musl to provide it is probably ok too but I wanted  to take

to an image to build and then we have a known baseline and we could
experiment more.
