IMO, investing too much energy into making GDB work with a "difficult"
(aka broken) libiconv is a waste of precious time. Perhaps it's time
for us to cut the losses and decide that building GDB requires GNU
libiconv.  I was first in line asking that GDB could be built without
GNU libiconv, but I can see from experience how much of a mess that is...
