this is a very involved issue actually.
on a glibc2.2 system, definitely _no_.
on most other systems, probably yes.
Unfortunately, IIUC, one cannot check whether the libc iconv is usable
using autoconf, but only whether it is present.

Bruno promised to address this issue a year ago, but he is still busy
with other things.

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
