+         Without this option the package will overwrite
+         /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules which is a part of the **Glibc**
+         installation and break iconv (both the command iconv(1) and the
+         Glibc function iconv(3)).  Then some BLFS packages will FTBFS or
+         fail a dozen of tests etc.

+         Already reported as https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/3ffb1568a9ff6c0b6f5424de3a0fafb24e7b3ac0.camel@xry111.site/.
+
+         Debian and Gentoo also have -D gconv=disabled.  Fedora manually
+         moves the gconv-modules file in a DESTDIR installation.  IMO it's
+         completely stupid to have an installation conflicting with Glibc in
+         the default configuration, but they just completely ignore my
+         report and rely on the distro maintainers to resolve the issue,
+         even without mentioning the conflict in README.md, nor INSTALL.md.
+         This is the worst upstream behavior I've ever seen.  -->
