Hmph. On Solaris 8, there is no such conditional; iconv is defined
similar to the second version you quoted above:

  extern size_t iconv(iconv_t, const char **, size_t *, char **, size_t *);

So it would seem we do need OLD_ICONV there. But it compiles just fine
without any warnings.

Yes.

Ah, I didn't know about that. Thanks. I also have the ones for UTF-8
conversion, but not for direct eucJP to ISO-2022-JP conversion.

OK, makes sense.

Those work just fine for me on Solaris 8.

I do all of my testing with bash, having given up on Solaris /bin/sh. In
fact, I have found that bash 2.05 works, but bash 2.03 does _not_ (it
doesn't like sourcing the files with non-ascii characters in t8005.
