Hello,

the problem with the patch is that it only works if libiconv is 
installed. If not the build of CDE fails.
But libiconv is deprecated since FreeBSD 10 because the iconv functions 
have been moved to libc.
So this patch helps for some systems which have libiconv installed as a 
dependency but it damages the other
FreeBSD systems.

What we need is a patch which works in both cases, with and without 
libiconv. And we also have to make sure
that the patch works on FreeBSD 9 and older.

Best Regards, Ulrich
