[Bug libc/12234] iconvlist API


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12234

--- Comment #2 from Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com> 2010-11-19 19:18:55 UTC ---
gdb lets the user indicate the target charset.
In order to allow command-line completion we need a list of charsets.

Having an API is nicer than trying to parse iconv -l output.
Right now we have to have workarounds for old/strange versions of iconv.
Also this means that every gdb startup involves a second fork/exec.
