The R Installation and Administration manual section A.1 states that glibc
should provide a suitable iconv function, but I can't get R's configure script
to accept/validate iconv on a Linux platform I need to support using glibc 2.20.

Dear all,
I am writing a vignette that requires a file which I am not allowed to
