  # This is hacky, but `libiconv.dylib` needs to reexport `libcharset.dylib` to match the behavior
  # of the system libiconv on Darwin. Trying to do this by modifying the `Makefile` results in an
  # error linking `iconv` because `libcharset.dylib` is not at its final path yet. Avoid the error
  # by building without the reexport then clean and rebuild `libiconv.dylib` with the reexport.
  #
  # For an explanation why `libcharset.dylib` is reexported, see:

      Some programs, like mailers and web browsers, must be able to convert
      between a given text encoding and the user's encoding.  Other programs
      internally store strings in Unicode, to facilitate internal processing,
      and need to convert between internal string representation (Unicode)
      and external string representation (a traditional encoding) when they
      are doing I/O.  GNU libiconv is a conversion library for both kinds of
      applications.
