So you really have to debug this within pkgsrc. But you can do that by looking at config.log, or if really desperate, by doing "bmake configure" and then adding "set -x" at the beginning. Probably you'll find that the cc invocation from configure didn't work right for some reason that isn't really about iconv. Another question is if you are generally able to build things and if this is the exception. I'm guessing that's the case from how you phrased the question, but I always like to check for higher-level issues.
