You are almost certainly wrong; it would be months of work. You may
be able to extract the iconv library to use it separately, though.
Are you sure? darwin is the Mac OS X operating system. It is mostly
BSD Unix. There are comments in a few places about darwin already.
e.g.
* sysdeps/mach/powerpc/sysdep.h (_MACH_MACHINE_ASM_H):
Define this
before include <sysdeps/mach/sysdep.h>, to inhibit <mach/
machine/asm.h>
on Darwin, which includes bogons.
It may be that the platform I'm using is intel based. I'm not sure
what the deal is.
