Thanks.  I'll give it a try with the Apple GCC.

I was attempting to follow instructions I found online from someone  
who had compiled for i686, which would explain why he didn't include  
the libiconv.

A google search on the error had shown someone on a netbsd list  
posting the same error on 10.6.  But with no information on what  
compiler or options he was using.

Thanks,
Kevin
