Hi Danny,

The statically-linked ‘fsck.fat’ doesn’t have access to gconv module,
which is why ‘iconv_open’ would fail.

Glibc has the ability to bring in statically-linked gconv modules, so we
could in theory build a custom glibc for the statically-linked
‘fsck.fat’, but that doesn’t sound great.

Thoughts?
