Trying the native Solaris iconv_open() for a conversion from "646" to

implementation for this platform?
Yes, unless you have found it to be broken in some way, why would you
not use the native iconv() where available?
Because not all the platforms we support has iconv so we build with
GNU libiconv everywhere to establish the same behavior. I'll ping the
GNU libiconv folks. I think the fix is simple.
Actually I'm curious what you have encoded in page 646. If this is part of
a server application, your local code page is possibly of zero interest.
If it's a console application it is probably significant.
