One thing to keep in mind is that x86-64 Homebrew (which is the one
that uses the /usr/local/ location) can be installed via Rosetta 2 on
Apple Silicon Macs for testing (I use it myself). In that case you
wouldn't really want to use the /usr/local/opt/libiconv location. It
would be a somewhat niche case (the user has to be using Apple Silicon
Mac, and somehow has Rosetta Homebrew libiconv installed but not
native Homebrew libiconv), but could happen.
