 As of Subversion r254080 (August 8, 2013), iconv_none is no longer used
 because it does not check the encoding as specified by POSIX and
 required by various applications. So there seems to be something wrong
 with either your version specification or your analysis.
 
 As for a fix, I think it would be a good idea to drop iconv_none
 entirely. Also, iconv_std might be folded into lib/libc/iconv/; there is
 little benefit in dlopening such a small module.
