[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#788696: node-iconv: call of overloaded ‘New?=(long unsigned int&)=?UTF-8?Q?’ is ambiguous

[Chris West (Faux)]

Package: node-iconv
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

The package fails to build, possibly due to v8 changes(?):
