Yes, this appears to be what it's doing; it's checking for iconv_open
without any -l options and succeeding, so it's mixing libiconv's
headers with the iconv implementation in libc.

...and I still don't know how to go about fixing it.

Maybe force LIBS+=-liconv in libiconv's bl3 if the OS is NetBSD?
