The option

-Wl,-a,archive

is positionally dependent and should occur at the beginning of the com-

pile line. For optimum compatibility in future releases, you should avoid using archive libc with other

shared libraries except for libdld.sl as needed above.

There is a corner-case situation for multi-byte characters that is not correctly handled by

iconv().If

the last character in the ﬁle being converted is an invalid multi-byte character,

iconv() returns [EIN-

VAL] instead of [EILSEQ]. The application can get around this by checking whether EOF is reached or if

this is the last buffer being converted. In this case, [EINVAL] should be treated as [EILSEQ].
