I'm not real familiar with libiconv, but I did take a look at it the other day as a possible fallback to string encodings if ICU is not available. The problem with iconv is that each OS has it's own implementation. I believe GNUstep depends on the GNU libiconv behavior. The like below shows a similar problem someone had in 2009 and it might not have yet been fixed.
