Hi,
NetBSD has an iconv() with a similar behaviour as Irix iconv(). I'm
applying this patch. It has the effect that the 'striconv' functions will
prefer returning a failure code rather than a string full of question marks.
In other words, it will make 'striconv' behave the same way on NetBSD as
on platforms with glibc or libiconv. It fixes a testsuite failure of
GNU gettext.

* lib/striconv.c (mem_cd_iconv, str_cd_iconv): Treat all non-GNU
iconv implementations like Irix iconv.
