But for some reason, the project makefiles don't link to the libiconv C library during build; only on Windows, Mac, FreeBSD, and on ARM platforms, but otherwise not on Linux.

libiconv is not even needed by this application on Linux. It uses its own iconv.cc (C++ library) whereas libiconv is a C program.

That's not true. https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/blob/master/iconv.hh includes external header iconv.h.

$ ldd /usr/bin/goldendict |grep iconv libiconv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libiconv.so.2 (0x00007f5cf043e000)

libiconv is now in community: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libiconv/

Package libiconv no more available in AUR.

Can you make something like goldendict-bin? Build from source take long on my old computer.

I've fixed the GitHub URL issue and also the incorrect version string.

As @simonzack said, install failed due to recent GitHub updates. To fix this problem, just replace this line in PKGBUILD:
source=("$pkgname::git+git://github.com/goldendict/goldendict.git")
with:
source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict.git")

I just forked a new package using the webengine branch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/goldendict-webengine-git

Note:

The main repos of goldendict and qt-webkit are both halted/stalled. There will be no qt6-webkit in the foreseeable future, and the qt5-webkit in arch's repo is still from 2020.

There is an effort of porting GD to qtwebengine, and it seems to be the future of GD. The fork from xiaoyifang also does release tags. Based on user feedback, it works and pretty nice.

Maybe someone should create a new AUR package -> goldendict-webengine or something.
