This reverts commit edfbbaf. I mistakingly believed that once 1.66.0 was used to bootstrap, we'd be able to remove libiconv from rustc's build-time dependency tree on Darwin. Sadly, this isn't the case, because src/tools/bootstrap depends on libc. Additionally, it seems that my assessment in b1834a4 was wrong -- *any* dependency on `libc` will cause a requirement on libiconv, due to rustc unconditionally linking every library specified in `link` directives, no matter if the function is actually used. This was worked around somewhat in rust-lang/libc#2944 by not linking libiconv if libc is only a dependency of std, but this doesn't apply when `libc` is a dependency of anything else. Maybe one day we'll just rip out libiconv from `libc` entirely (or hide it behind a feature flag), but for now, we can just keep it in `buildRustPackage`'s `buildInputs` by default.

this can now target staging-next: #214010, even though it probably doesn't matter |
