*** Changes since GDB 7.3
+* New configure option --with-iconv-bin.
+ When using the internationalization support like the one in the GNU C
+ library, GDB will invoke the "iconv" program to get a list of supported
+ character sets. If this program lives in a non-standard location, one can
+ use this option to specify where to find it.
+
* When natively debugging programs on PowerPC BookE processors running
a Linux kernel version 2.6.34 or later, GDB supports masked hardware
watchpoints, which specify a mask in addition to an address to watch.
