 This is really iconv(3)'s problem and not Ruby itself althogh it is
 the problem of Ruby's application programs which uses GNU iconv
 specific "//IGNORE" or "//TRANSLAT" options.  (And Ruby itself using
 these options its test script in test/iconv/test_option.rb.  :-(
 
 It is checked by simple ruby's script.
 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 require 'iconv'
 
 ic = Iconv.new("ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", "UTF-8")
 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 With none-GNU iconv:
 
 % ruby18 iconv.rb
 ruby18 iconv.rb
 iconv.rb:3:in `initialize': invalid encoding ("ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", "UTF-8") 
(Iconv::InvalidEncoding)
         from iconv.rb:3:in `new'
         from iconv.rb:3
 
 When I build ruby18-base with USE_GNU_ICONV=yes, it passed.
 
 % ruby18 iconv.rb
 (no output)
 
 You can also check with ldd(1).
 
 % ldd /usr/pkg/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-netbsdelf/iconv.so 
 /usr/pkg/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-netbsdelf/iconv.so:
         -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
         -lpthread.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
         -lcrypt.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.0
         -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm387.so.0
         -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0
         -lruby18.18 => /usr/pkg/lib/libruby18.so.18
         -liconv.2 => /usr/pkg/lib/libiconv.so.2
 
 
 Now, the same problem exists on some (or many?) PHP based applications
 which use "//IGNORE" or "//TRANSLAT".
 
 So I think it is worth to add:
 
 USE_GNU_ICONV?=         yes
 
 to lang/ruby18-base/Makefile and converters/php-iconv/Makefile.
 (I don't know the case of Python.)
 
 Best regards.
