I think so; but you can make a test case easily enough by setting gdb's
host-charset to ISO-8859-1 but Eclipse's notion to UTF-8, and then
trying things.

I did several of such tests with different versions of GDB on Linux, Mac OS and Windows. I didn't experience any problems. I just wasn't sure whether any of the GDB's I tested used the phony iconv, so I thought I ask about this edge case here on the mailing list.

Since you say that at worst GDB would probably only print some strings incorrectly even when the phony iconv is used, I think we're going to enable this feature by default. Thanks for your help!
