Fedora 29, x86_64 fully patched.

However, I'm building Git and all of its dependencies with additional
flags for testing. The prefix directory is /var/tmp and the lib
directory is /var/tmp/lib64.

RPATHS are set for everything being built, but I don't rule out those
stupid path problems that plague Linux. In the past I have seen grep
and awk from /bin use special builds of libraries in /var/tmp/lib64. I
have not figured out how to tell programs in /bin to stop using test
libraries in /var/tmp/lib64.

$ PATH=/var/tmp/bin/:$PATH echo "hallo" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | xxd
00000000: fffe 6800 6100 6c00 6c00 6f00 0a00       ..h.a.l.l.o...

And:

$ PATH=/var/tmp/bin/:$PATH echo "hallo" | /usr/bin/iconv -f UTF-8 -t
UTF-16 | xxd
00000000: fffe 6800 6100 6c00 6c00 6f00 0a00       ..h.a.l.l.o...

Yes, absolutely. Which file would you like?

(The only thing I can find is config.log).
