Hello,

working with -current? The iconv functions have been added recently and it 
changes the behaviour of the /usr/pkgsrc/converters/libiconv/buildlink2.mk 
script under NetBSD.  I have two problems as a result of this:

1) Libraries that already exist and depend on libiconv now can't resolv their 
dependencies when used by other packages.  and example I had was
libiconv --> libxml2 --> libxslt.  Going back and rebuilding libxml2 fixed 
this for me.

2) packages that define USE_GNU_ICONV=yes fail when they are in turn used by 
other packages.  One workaround may be to propagate USE_GNU_ICONV=yes via 
their respective buildlink.mk scripts?  I'm seeing this in glib2 -> atk and  
glib2 -> pango.  Just removing USE_GNU_ICONV might work but I assume it was 
added to glib2 for a reason.

Can someone more familiar with buildlink and pkgsrc take a look at this?
