The #:export (glibc...) part only exists in wip-hurd so we need to
remove this in order for your patch to apply on master.

Maybe we should break this patch into two different ones, one for the
libiconv package description and one for the libiconv-if-needed. The
first will go to master and the second to core-updates. WDYT?

I am sorry for my ignorance but why is libiconv needed when targeting mingw?
Because Microsoft does not implement iconv, and presumably this package needs it.
