I do not have an access to a Darwin box, but do you mean 10.5
gives 9.0.0 as uname_R?

Be it that or not, it looks wrong to me to check the Darwin version to
know what to use. Do you rely on the Linux kernel version to know  
whether
iconv is present ?

It's very different, on OSX you don't change your own kernel as you  
want, the kernel isn't a standalone component, it comes packaged with  
the entire system of MacOSX.  When you do an update to 10.5 (aka  
Leopard) you will have a new version of iconv so you're guaranteed  
that someone with 10.5 has a system-wide iconv that is not OLD_ICONV.

The fact is you can also use Darwin without OSX...
