Umm, the above line cannot work as it's missing the -liconv at least.

So, I just tried on a Solaris8 box with iconv installed in /usr/local,
without the parameter, and it just worked. Even the error is there but
nevertheless it says "checking for iconv... yes". So could you try just
without the parameter? Does configure exit with an error?
