glib-2.4.2 unicode-encoding test failure on RHEL 3.0/x86, AIX, Tru64 UNIX

[Albert Chin <gtk-devel-list mlists thewrittenword com>]

When compiled _with_ GNU libiconv 1.9, I get the following test
failure with glib-2.4.2 on RHEL 3.0/x86:
  $ cd tests
  $ ./unicode-encoding
  line 24: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 36: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 40: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 44: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 56: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 60: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 82: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 86: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 90: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 94: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian
  line 299: conversion via iconv to "UTF-16" is not native-endian

I get the same errors on AIX 4.3.x, 5.1, and Tru64 UNIX.
