Re: [bug-gnu-libiconv] can't compile libiconv/1.16 on windows using clang

clang has much nicer sanitizers https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html

You  can profile the code with less overhead. It's a big advantage compared to gcc.

There is already a way to build libiconv on Windows using only
Free Software (namely, with Cygwin, gcc and mingw). What would be the point
of another, alternative one?

The main problem in your build attempt is the assignment
  CC=clang-cl
CC should support Unix cc compatible options. That is, either
  CC=clang
or
  CC="compile clang-cl"
where the 'compile' script is shipped as libiconv/build-aux/compile.

Next, as stated in the INSTALL.windows file, MSYS as build environment
is not supported.
