Hi,
The last GNU libiconv release was one year ago. Would it make sense to make
a new release now? Please let me know. Or if you know about some new features
that should be included before the next release, please let me know as well.
On z/OS, I am still sorting out issues with ASCII/EBCDIC that may or may not
require any changes for libiconv, so I can't say for certain nothing else will come
up there.
Other than that, the only other patch that I am having to make is for Makefile.devel
because we don't have gcc on z/OS, only variations of clang and IBM proprietary C
compilers. As such, I have to do:
diff --git a/Makefile.devel b/Makefile.devel
index 5535acc..37a25b8 100644
--- a/Makefile.devel
+++ b/Makefile.devel

MAN2HTML = groff -mandoc -Thtml

It would be nice if there was a way that the compiler and compiler options could be
overridden. I know you weren't able to take this patch because it requires an
enhanced 'make' but perhaps there is another way to provide this override capability?
Thanks.
