Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] utf8.c: Enable workaround for iconv under macOS 14/15

From: [email-masked]
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 18:40:12 +0100

From: Torsten Bögershausen <[email-masked]>

The previous commit introduced a workaround in utf8.c to deal
with broken iconv implementations.

It is enabled when
  A MacOS version is used that has a buggy iconv library and
  there is no external library provided (and linked against)
  from neither MacPorts nor Homebrew.
