Is it calling these functions in the inferior?
If so, then I think it would be preferable to use iconv in gdb, and
not call any inferior functions. This approach has several
advantages: it works with core files, it works with other languages,
and (due to the existence of libiconv) it is more portable.
If not, I think I am not understanding something.
