Hi Scott,

I've run into this a couple times now when trying to run ./configure
on GNU stuff. Isn't iconv part of Haiku? Any idea why this is
failing and how to get around it?
Afaik Haiku does include iconv in its libroot; however, detecting
iconv in all its flavours is a science of its own... For own thing,
sometimes the functions are called iconv*, sometimes libiconv*.
Sometimes those are in the standard C library, sometimes in libiconv.
And the parameters differ between operating systems and even between
Linux distributions.
So as long as the functions in Haiku are there, we should fix it in
the configure scripts ourselves somehow.
A workaround is to install dev-libs/libiconv. Another workaround might
be to symlink libiconv.so to libroot.so in develop/libs/x86.
