The following commands:

wget https://github.com/Edrusb/DAR/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd DAR-master
misc/init
misc/batch_cygwin 2.6.0.RC3 win64

produce the same compilation error as before (duplicating it here for
the sake of completeness):

I have tried a few more iconv-related cygwin packages but by now I don't
know what else to try and why it is refusing to compile yet saying
"checking for working iconv... yes".

Same thing with dar-2.6.0.RC3.tar.gz from your FTP.

I doubt this has any significance but I'm doing all this on Windows
Server 2012R2 x64 VPS.

NB: is this an unintentional typo to be corrected?
