I think the problem Stanislav had is that he is using a Linaro
toolchain, which puts the gconv module in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
and so expects them in that location at runtime.

But since Buildroot does not follow the multi-arch convention (and
rightfully, IMHO), it does not work for Stanislav.

I'm not very happy with the exporting of GCONV_PATH as-is. I'd prefer we
find another solution. I'll look into that.

Yann E. MORIN.
