            Bug ID: 33774
           Summary: iconv functions do not follow symlinks
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.42
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: john.frankish at outlook dot com
                CC: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Ref #32399

I tracked down the commit applied to glibc-2.43, applied it to glibc-2.42 and
rebuilt iconv and iconvconfig.

The rebuilt iconv still does not display all of the available character sets
unless /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.d/gconv-modules-extra.conf is an actual
file rather than a symlink to a loop mounted squashfs package.

Am I missing something or does the commit change more than just iconv and
(possibly) iconvconfig?
