I had a closer look and it appears that Qt does distinguish between glibc and 
GNU libiconv.  I didn't see anywhere it treats them differently (but didn't 
look either).  

What I did see is that Qt has a fall back for systems that don't have iconv 
(such as Windows, and since it doesn't work for us, FreeBSD).  This should 
mean, functionality wise, there will be no difference with and without 
libiconv.  

What is the course of action from here?  Complain to Qt Software, hope someone 
sorts it out or ignore the problem?  Oh and how does one file a bug with Qt 
Software?

I've almost finished the build from area51/qt-4.5 and will post the diff 
required to get it to work :-).
