Thanks Lem,

Not so worried about that, just noticed that iconv conftest also failed 
in my recent findutils build which I released, missing libiconv 
functions and presumably substituting gnulib functions, although the 
iconv conftest passed in github scallywag.
This may be the result of a change in gnulib or autoconf, which now 
sometimes fails when it should not.
