You can also add the line 
skip.append("libiconv")
to your .jhbuildrc-custom.

This may not work with a Tiger build, as Tiger shipped an older version of libiconv (2.2.0 vs. 2.4.0) than Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion.

You can use the 10.4u and 10.5 SDKs from XCode 3 on XCode 4 with Snow Leopard, but not XCode 4.1 on Lion. I see from the MacDev Center that XCode 4.1 is available now for Snow Leopard, but I haven't tried it yet and I don't know if the old SDKs still work.

Unfortunately Apple's deployment target magic only works on Apple's frameworks, not on the Unix libraries we depend upon, so the oldest version SDK you build with is the oldest OS version you can run on.
