I don't understand. Our ut_iconv code uses g_iconv under the hood.
This has been the case throughout the 2.5 series. [1]

If you're using a really new glib, they recently changed it so that it
didn't have a libiconv dependency any more. Instead, it's implemented
in terms of native Win32 functions like WideCharToMultiByte(). Perhaps
that's the cause of the problem.
