Comment(by dluke@…):

 It's probably not worth finding and fixing everywhere, but I think it
 would be worthwhile to fix for libiconv - since gawk depends on it.

 This sequence causes problems:
 1. Install libiconv
 2. Install gawk
 3. force uninstall libiconv
 4. realize you want libiconv and try to install it -> this will fail
 because libiconv's configure will try to use the now broken gawk

 To fix it, you have to uninstall or deactivate gawk (and then libiconv can
 be installed and gawk can be reinstalled or reactivated).

 If libiconv uses awk instead, 4 works without having to deal with anything
 extra.
