Thanks for the report.

Please try the appended patch.  I've included the auto* output in this
patch in case you don't have the right versions on your DJGPP machine.

I chose btowc as a sentinel function.  And, I separated out the "phony
iconv" and "wchar_t support" cases, so that systems that have the
former but not the latter will gracefully choose slightly degraded
functionality.
