Using the recode-3.6 it can't handle utf-8 files.  If you try to recode a file
(assuming an xml-document of gentoo.org) to latin1 it fails on the first utf-8
character with the error

recode: Invalid input in step `UTF-8..ISO-8859-1'

Step to reproduce:
recode utf-8..latin1 < gentoo-x86-install.xml  (of the german doc-tree)

DarkSpecter has also this problem.  On x86 this works without problems.
