Ah just as Vlad suspected, a byte swap in RH 7.0 that is not present in RH
6.2. What a pain!
Does it make sense to fork iconv and just use our own version? Like we did
with wchar functions? Otherwise we need to set up some wrapper around
iconv calls to test what version of iconv is present in our libraries and
choose different code paths accordingly.
Isn't there an iconv included in the Abi distribution for platforms
without one present? Should we just use that for all platforms?
Cheers
