Well, exact steps for 10-release:
1) Fully restore GNU iconv for ports, not partial restore as now. There
is no sense to wait for user reports that something is broken when the
possible bug source is clearly identified. Users not always able to
track it down.
2) Implement GNU compatible //TRANSLIT, //IGNORE and WCHAR_T in system
iconv.
3) Delete GNU one again in the future 10.x release.

Even in case 2) and 3) will never happens, step 1) is required.
