Comment:

 `ghc-pwd` is a GHC-compiled binary used by the installer configure script.
 It's trying to call `iconv` to get the locale encoding.  I presume
 TinyCoreLinux is missing some iconv functionality or something, but I'm
 not sure exactly what, or how we should work around it.  Someone will have
 to install TinyCoreLinux and investigate further.
