Your program has one problem

>   char *src = "This is a öäåÖÄÅ test\n";

This isn't portable.  The string which should be stored in the binary is
encoded according to the locale the compiler is running with and maybe
even reading the string fails if the encoding of the file doesn't match.
 I actually don't know whether gcc enforces this.  In any case, it's
much better to use this:

char *src = "This is a \xc3\xb6\xc3\xa4\xc3\xa5\xc3\x96\xc3\x84\xc3\x85
test\n";

Anyway, even after this change I still see no output from this string.
If I use printf() instead it works, the conversion is successful.

I suggest you file a bug.
