I think that this can be due to the #inclusion of the wrong <iconv.h> that
doesn't declare functions as 'extren "C"' - thus C++ compiler tries to find
mangled names and doesn't find them correctly.
The sympthoms are:
If linker says
"undefined reference to 'iconv'" than 'extren "C"' was aroun the declaration
of that function.
If linker says
"undefined reference to 'iconv(iconv_t, const char**, int*, char**, int*)'"
than 'extren "C"' was not aroun the declaration of that function.
It should be traced which one <iconv.h> is included. Though wv's and
libinconv's iconv.h wrap everything inside 'extern "C" {' - so that wrong
header file can be only FreeBSD's one.
