Now I want to know what would happen if I rebuild system with
WITHOUT_ICONV=yes
in /etc/src.conf
and use libiconv from ports.
Would it work, and would I have to rebuild all ports?
Fortunately, I am not yet very advanced in building ports for FreeBSD 10-STABLE and 11-current.
It seems including libiconv in base has adverse side effects, the two can clash when both base and ports libiconv are installed.
