I beg to differ.  The c99 man page explicitly lists a number of
libraries (libc, libi, libpthread, libm, librt, libtrace, libxnet and
liby), and states that libc will contain all functions *except* those
defined in a short list of headers.  This list does not include
<iconv.h>; therefore, iconv must be in libc, cf. the original meaning of
"the exception that proves the rule".
