I tested on S10, SNV (probably somewhere around SNV_14, can't quite remember) and S9 (whichever the latest update was). None need -liconv, it's a build error on S10 (which was the one I cared about).

I can dig into the Iconv situation further later in the week, or next. I am away from home at moment.

I couldn't find an S8 machine to test on, so I left S8 alone - existing behaviour, I had no basis to judge it incorrect. S8 is /really/ old now btw. ;)

S10, maybe S9 too (not sure), install these to /usr/sfw/bin, if you installed everything.
