Yes it should, but your error messages do suggest there is a mismatch
between headers and libraries for the iconv functions. And as on Linux
those are in libc, which is always linked in, it suggests there is a roque
header perhaps!

You might at least investigate if there is somehow another iconv.h
header besides the system one under /usr/include, that might have been
used by the compiler instead of the standard one from GNU libc.
