(and ofcourse you will only see this on uclibc...)

So I wonder if I try to get all this thing to work... without getting myself into the gcc nightmare.

We really can't depend on dev-libs/libiconv; it kills glibc.

Doesn't portage allow an 'if uclibc then do this otherwise do that'? (Or depend on a virtual iconv package?)
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-14 14:56:52 UTC
There is no iconv support for uClibc at gentoo. Please use another peice of software. XFCE is known work with only minor modifcations.
