google suggests that the problem may be that the configure script
is finding a different iconv.h than the one in /usr/include -- I'm
not sure which one (a quick check on the systems I can see right now
doesn't show an example which would do this).  The -I options in CPPFLAGS
or CFLAGS would give a clue.
