Right, that does work as you say:

    (gdb) set target-charset CP839
    Undefined item: "CP839".

Although I find it odd that GDB insists on the charsets to be in
UPPERCASE.  This is okay:

    (gdb) set target-charset ISO-8859-1

but this is not:

    (gdb) set target-charset iso-8859-1
    Undefined item: "iso-8859-1".

OK, then on to upgrading libiconv.

Thanks.
