    Libiconv would have added something as:

|       libiconv.so.2 => /hdd2/usr/lib/libiconv.so.2

    Why have you installed libiconv? What happens if you build Mutt with
the same +LOCALES_HACK after you renamed out /hdd2/usr/include/iconv.h?

    Mutt also uses locales for other things. Like printing an "ä" or a
"\344" depending on the locale printability info. And yet others.

    Well yes, the libc version can affect locales. But AFAICS
Glibc 2.2.2 should work well. If only you had locales of the
corresponding version, or could localedef some.
