    Problem Text
    Error is caused by the following declaration which can be find at line
    121 in the L.iconv module:

    size_t iconv(iconv_t, char **, size_t *, char **, size_t *);

    According to "X/Open System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4" at page 206,
    it should be:

    size_t iconv(iconv_t cd, const char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft,
    char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

    That is, the second argument is "const char **" and not "char **".

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The problem in this case arises from the different declarations of the
    iconv() function found on pages 206 and 555 of the XSH4 specification.
    The test suite uses the declaration specified on page 555 whereas the
    implementation uses the declaration from page 206. It is recommended
    that a permanent interpretation be granted since the implementation
    uses one of the declarations used in the XSH.
