On HP-UX 11.11 and 11.31, I'm seeing this iconv test failure:
test-iconv.c:65: assertion failed
FAIL: test-iconv
HP-UX iconv returns a positive value any time a non-ASCII character is
converted. This is an interpretation of the POSIX wording that disagrees
with what all other systems do. The bug is not fatal, but ought to be
documented:

Gnulib provides higher-level facilities @code{striconv} and @code{striconveh}
(wrappers around @code{iconv}) that deal with conversion errors in a platform
independent way.

+This function returns a positive return value, instead of zero, when
