Updating Kodi from version 17.6 to 18.5 caused runtime errors on systems
with locale support disabled, here Kodi uses libiconv but needs CP437:
ERROR: customConvert: iconv_open() for "CP437" -> "UTF-8" failed,
errno = 22 (Invalid argument)
Due to the size increase of libiconv.so.2.6.0 from 941K to 1,1M a new
Config.in option was added.

# Don't build the preloadable library, as we don't need it (it's only
# for LD_PRELOAD to replace glibc's iconv, but we never build libiconv
# when glibc is used). And it causes problems for static only builds.
