OK, that explains the difference you and I are seeing.  In your configure
output, you get:

I don't see this because I have iconv installed.  Maybe someone on this
list more familiar with iconv could explain this dependency and why it
makes sense.  However, I'd suggest taking this to the iconv experts to
get the full explanation of their configure script.

Without the lecture, what fun is this question for the rest of us? ;-)
