I also know it. And I reported this bug(?) to kLIBC developers. See

Good to know that. ^^

I tested, I had to change two things.
First, configure failed at ld check because os2compile printed all
commands executed and this corrupted outputs expected by configure.
Second, .exe was appended even if DLL with .dll was generated.

With these fixes, I can build libiconv and test binaries. And maybe
Makefile.devel as well, which is executed by autogen.sh, if set CC
correctly.

Thanks.
