This is with gcc3-c++-3.3.5 and gcc3-c-3.3.5 (under Linux). The abiword
failed with:

ut_iconv.cpp:342: error: invalid conversion from `const char**' to
`char**'

I see a bulk build showed same:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2005/01/13/0007.html

Also same/similar as old PR 23368
 http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=23368

See editors/abiword/patches/patch-ab

I had to revert src/af/util/xp/ut_iconv.cpp and it build past that.

fredb: I emailed you to, because you had looked at this before.
