I don't really understand Ben's comment either. To me libstdc++-v3
seems clearly broken now, unless I misunderstood something. Perhaps
before, when libstdc++-v3 was built for an embedded system, the
functions which called iconv failed when linking the program. But to
me it seems better to have just those functions fail than to have the
whole library fail to build.
Of course I have no problem with waiting for a full fix, but the
current status is ungood.
