Well, you mainly have 2 options:
- use libiconv (system if available or GNU one)
- use trivial iconv (a replacement)

However I would try to detect where the problem occur. I'm not familiar
with AIX but if you have gdb (GNU debugger), run program with gdb (gdb
program, then 'r' command) when stop dump stack ('bt' command). If not
available perhaps somebody could help using AIX debugger...
