Description
I need to do some charset conversion. When I specify -finput-charset=UTF-8 and -fexec-charset=gbk gcc fails with cc1.exe: error: no iconv implementation, cannot convert from UTF-8 to gbk
I do find iconv.exe in bin directory but somehow it doesn't seem to be recognized by cc1.exe.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the reported -finput-charset=UTF-8 and -fexec-charset=gbk options, then inspect how cc1.exe discovers or uses the iconv.exe found in the bin directory. Confirm the conversion works through the compiler and that the original error is no longer reported.
