Last time I was tinderboxing I used it because glib was using it
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-packaging-list/2005-August/msg00001.html
I'll poke glib to see if it can use the native iconv - I suspect it was just
picking gnu iconv because it was the first one in LDFLAGS.

When I've got time I'll try and isolate the problem. My auto*- and
linking-fu aren't all that strong so I'll see if using native iconv fixes
the problem first.
