 it seems that your application includes GNU libiconv's
 header(/usr/pkg/include/iconv.h),
 you have to set correct include path and use NetBSD's own
 header(/usr/include/iconv.h).
 
 GNU libiconv rewrites iconv_open() to libiconv_open() in its header file
 to avoid conflict with libc's symbol. so that this is not bug :)
 
 if you want use GNU libiconv(not NetBSD), you have to specify
 -L/usr/pkg/lib -liconv.
 (but their manpage is not mention about it..., please comtact GNU
 libiconv's maintainor)
 
 very truly yours.
