While on Linux the iconv binary is part of GNU libc, on other Platforms it is part of GNU libiconv eventually.

While glibc iconv knows about both 'UTF8' and 'UTF-8' charsets, libiconv knows 'UTF-8' only, leading me to this patch-diff:

Thanks for the patch, makes sense.
I guess on affected systems it just fails during compilation so revbump is not necessary?

Exactly, no revbump necessary. Thanks!
