Yes it should, but your error messages do suggest there is a mismatch between headers and libraries for the iconv functions. And as on Linux those are in libc, which is always linked in, it suggests there is a roque header perhaps!

You might at least investigate if there is somehow another iconv.h header besides the system one under /usr/include, that might have been used by the compiler instead of the standard one from GNU libc.
