Summary:                    Fail to build glib 2.12.9 (No iconv() implementation
found in C library or libiconv)
Description: 
uClibc has been build with locale suport, gcc 4.2.0, arch i686
also tried to compile newest 2.12.12 glib but without success
(error dump is for 2.12.12 but 2.12.9 is behaving exactly the same)

Solution on maillist:
Hello,

This patch disables building of iconv binary in uclibc ( it's failed when
locale support is enabled).
In turn correct building of uclibc with locale support gives correct build
for glibc 2.12.9 - a bug was recently opened: 
 [buildroot 0001408]: Fail to build glib 2.12.9 (No iconv() implementation
found in C library or libiconv)

Actually it's just Assen Stoyanov's patch but made from root of buildroot
for suitable applying in svn for maintainer.

Without this patch glib build fails.

Best regards, Ivan

configure: error:
*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use

gettext library has been built without any problems - but glib does not
see it. Header problem?

@pavko 

  What i observed just now is that "make gettext" builds & installs
libintl.h in correct $(BUILD_DIR)/staging_dir/usr/include directory but
when making libglib2 it checks for uclibc build whcih removes libintl.h
from $(BUILD_DIR)/staging_dir/usr/include directory. Also if i just again
try make gettext for the 2nd time, the same happens as gettext also looks
for uclibc build & this removes the libintl.h

  In my Buiuldroot config i have enabled Support for WCHAR

 kindly, anyone help us resolve this.
