>Description:
When not specifying -liconv, I get:
src/util.o: In function `convert_utf8_to_ucs2':
src/util.c:161: undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
src/util.c:169: undefined reference to `libiconv'
src/util.c:172: undefined reference to `libiconv'
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

However, the man page says:
NAME
     iconv_open, iconv_close, iconv -- codeset conversion functions

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

>How-To-Repeat:
Use iconv_open/iconv somewhere
>Fix:
Use -liconv
