It is available at:
  <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/recode/recode-3.6.tar.gz>
and mirrors. Timestamp is 2001-01-22
This version of recode uses a libray from libiconv-1.5.1
and this breaks around 25% of the tests from the testsuit.
It should be noticed that F.Pinard has applied your patch.
For a reason I have still not fully understood, libiconv.a
likes to read and write always in text mode. This makes
diff and cmp always fail due to the CRLF-NL issue.
Recode's output has MSDOS-style EOL and the control
files created by the testsuit have always UNIX-style EOL.

Reagards,
Guerrero, Juan Manuel
