No, they create that when the uses internal libiconv/gettxt on GLIBC systems 
and when using external libiconv in non-GLIBC sysems. That's because the 
locales in GLIBC are the same as handled by libiconv but it's not true with 
FBSD's libc.

Don't think like this is a task for the profile, but maybe we can do something 
with FEATURES inside of portage.

My box right now has a bit of trouble, mainly for temperature. spb maybe has 
one.
