You need to be a bit more specific about your system - which NetBSD version
are you using (basically the pkgsrc libiconv is not used on -current any
more), and what compiler ("cc -v" will tell you).

The pkg builds just fine for me on -current using gcc 3.3.1.

I won't comment on code style. Please check if the configure script found
the vprintf function:

 grep HAVE_VPRINTF work/libiconv-1.9.1/config.h

The problem is the libiconv source code. It selects the prototype in the
header file via

#if defined (__STDC__) && __STDC__

but then selects the implementation based on

#if defined VA_START && __STDC__

where VA_START is defined (beside others) if HAVE_VPRINTF is defined. Of
course this is completly bogus. But this is a pkgsrc problem, not sparc64
specific. The real question is: didn't the configure script find vprintf in
libc and if not why not.
