The problem, as explained by the reference attached to Stefan's email, is that NetBSD's iconv does not support the //TRANSLIT option that GNUstep uses to implement lossy transformations (as you also can see from the backtrace provided by Riccardo). I have no idea how we could fix that in GNUstep, but on the other hand there is an easy solution for Riccardo: Just install the gnu libiconv package on NetBSD and make sure it gets used instead of the default one.
