Summary:                    [patch] Iconv is a glibc-ism, and as such should be
called out explicitly
Description: 
For those of us building Asterisk against uClibc, we don't have iconv() in
the earlier releases.

This causes compilation to break without the attached fix.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
It already is.  Iconv is detected within the configure script.  If uclibc
is providing that facility but doesn't implement it correctly, such that
you need this modification to get it to work correctly, then you need to
complain to the uclibc developers and identify it as a major bug. 
Additionally, you're welcome to disable it manually in 'make menuselect'.
