OK, so this interesting....

I use -Wl,-R,'$$ORIGIN/../lib' so $ORIGIN passes through the makefile
properly. However, conftest uses the double dollar sign version which
causes the failure.

When I switch to the single dollar sign version for conftest,
everything works as expected:

$ gcc -o conftest -g2 -O2 -march=native -fPIC -pthread
-I/home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/include -DNDEBUG
-L/home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/lib -Wl,-R,'$ORIGIN/../lib'
-Wl,-R,/home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags
iconv-test.c  -liconv -ldl -lpthread

$ objdump -x conftest  |grep RUNPATH
  RUNPATH              $ORIGIN/../lib:/home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/lib
alpine3-x64:~/Build-Scripts$ objdump -x conftest  |grep RUNPATH
  RUNPATH              $ORIGIN/../lib:/home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/lib

$ ldd conftest
        /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7fd46b9a8000)
        libiconv.so.2 => /home/jwalton/tmp/ok2delete/lib/libiconv.so.2
(0x7fd46b8b9000)
        libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7fd46b9a8000)
