Well, I'm still sitting firmly on the fence with this one :) Do we
know roughly how many packages might cause one to think that libiconv
is required? Here's how I currently see it:
I believe AbiWord has it in the README. Gnome used to have it on their
pre-requisites page, it may still be there.
1. All affected packages are outside LFS
Yes, probably should be in BLFS. It's not a FAQ but there was a thread
last month (fontconfig) and again now this month.
If a person installs in /usr the iconv.h header is a goner. Probably it
could be pulled from he glibc tarball, I haven't looked.
