That sounds like it may be related to a problem I ran into when cross-building
from FreeBSD (11 beta something). With a package for libiconv installed, the compile
must have found the header in /usr/local/include, but the link step did not use the 
right library.  I worked around this by building in a jail with no packages installed.
