If libiconv is included in libc, and libc is shared, you can get into
conflicts
on many Unices if you use the same names.

Many Unix linkers import the whole symbol table of a shared library, and
complain if there's a conflict between a shared library symbol name and a
symbol loaded from somewhere else.

The days of trivially overriding one of the standard-library routines are
past.
