[package] libiconv/1.17: still cannot create debug build type with msvc

[asutic]

Description

In the project, we're using several Conan packages to build a library, which are then linked into my executables. The ability to debug the executables is a requirement (e.g., step through GTest execution). Hence, I need to compile Debug build type for the entire project.

While doing this, I noticed that it is impossible to compile a debug version of the libiconv package (see logs). A similar issue has been reported but for a compiler other than MSVC.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to solve or workaround the issue with libiconv?
