http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html says:

  The GNU libiconv library (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) is
  needed to build GLib if your system doesn't have the iconv()
  function for doing conversion between character encodings. Most
  modern systems should have iconv().
