+This hack makes Guile default to UTF-8.  This avoids calls to
+`iconv_open'; `iconv_open' tries to open shared objects that aren't
+available during bootstrap, so using UTF-8 avoids that (and UTF-8 has
+built-in conversions in glibc, too.)

+      stdio: don't assume gets any more
+
+      Gnulib intentionally does not have a gets module, and now that C11
+      and glibc have dropped it, we should be more proactive about warning
+      any user on a platform that still has a declaration of this dangerous
+      interface.
+
+      * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H, gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Drop gets
+      support.
+      * modules/stdio (Makefile.am): Likewise.
+      * lib/stdio-read.c (gets): Likewise.
+      * tests/test-stdio-c++.cc: Likewise.
+      * m4/warn-on-use.m4 (gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE): Fix comment.
+      * lib/stdio.in.h (gets): Make warning occur in more places.

+    Gnulib intentionally does not have a gets module, and now that C11

+    interface.
+    
+    * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H, gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Drop gets
