Well, the SDK we build for ppc-amigaos doesn't contain libiconv. Thus,
it'll be using the newlib iconv implementation exclusively.
Additionally, as we're linking statically, the scenario you describe is
somewhat difficult to create.

It doesn't appear that libiconv is a trivial addition to the SDK: the
sigismember definition in newlib's sys/signal.h prevents it building.
