Unluckily some configure scripts and build systems get confused by two 
implementations of iconv present on the system and fail in various 
manners, this one is just an example.

This is the main reason why the ports tree was patched to only use the 
system provided iconv implementation now that it is the default.

This requires a lot of work to "fix" installed pieces to adapt to this 
new world order.
