Subject: installing Community 2018 gnatcoll on Debian vs -liconv

I'm trying to install gnatcoll for Community 2018 on Debian from source, and it's complaining it can't find -liconv.
I need to install from source because the gnatcoll included in the binary install doesn't include the xref package. For some reason, the xref package requires -liconv.
I have previously installed gnatcoll gpl 2017, and it found -liconv with no problem; I don't understand what changed.
I can usually debug this sort of thing, but this one has me stumped. I managed to make it work on Windows!
Apparently in Debian iconv is provided by libc6 (although I can no longer find the web page I got that from); I have the libc6-dev package installed.
On the other hand, I can't find libiconv.a; I tried:
find /lib -name "*iconv*"
find /usr/lib -name "*iconv*"
nothing showed up.
Where is -liconv in Debian?
