One solution is to recompile one of the packages. The small iconv dll waswritten for OS/2 so may be the best 
choice though what I do with my own builds is just don't use iconv since I'm only using English here and not 
redistributing

For Jun Sawataishi's Texinfo 4.1 (746552 bytes) a special iconv is required:

  Be sure that you have install GNU intl library, libiconv library and
ncurses 5.2 from my web page.

    http://homepage1.nifty.com/jsawa/gnu/intl40.zip [655 kb]
    http://homepage1.nifty.com/jsawa/gnu/ncurses-5.2.zip [459 kb]

When I use the iconv.dll from the first package (iconv.dll, 849252 
bytes), Makeinfo 4.1 works, but gcc 3.2.1 stalls with the msg:

[F:\Zip]makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1

[F:\Zip]gcc --version
A non-recoverable error occurred.  The process ended.

If I use another, much smaller iconv.dll (1857 bytes), it is just the 
other way round:

[F:\Zip]makeinfo --version
A non-recoverable error occurred.  The process ended.

[F:\Zip]gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2.1

Can anybody suggest a solution that allows the coexistence of both 
software packages?

Thomas.
