Should we tell here what `iconv' is used for?  Users might not know
whether they should bother about this option.

I'm confused: what does `iconv's location have to do with the place
where glibc is installed?

Why not just say "if your @command{iconv} program is installed in a
non-standard place, you will need to tell @value{GDBN} where to find
it."?
