Yes, at least as an option to be discussed. |

I treat this as elibc_linux++. |

Some more questions to think of when deciding to use GNU libiconv on |
| 39 |
linux (if answer='yes' then I'd say elibc_linux++): |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Does uclibc lack (good) libiconv ? |
| 42 |
Are there other libc's possible for linux than glibc and uclibc ? |
| 43 |
Are there old glibc's around with bad libiconv implementations ? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
If we do not use elibc_linux, and uclibc lacks libiconv, then maybe we |
| 46 |
need to know of elibc_uclibc too in prefix... |
