Sounds like an broken or incomplete installation ov GNU libiconv. Try to 
edit the file config.h in your build top directory and change the
#define HAVE_ICONV_H
to
#undef HAVE_ICONV_H
or comment it out. Then do
make clean
make

and see what happens. It *should* then go beyond this error(s).

P.S.: My personal advice: I'd install GNU libiconv (from the sources or, if 
available, from sunfreeware.com) as more and more open source packages rely 
on it with respect to localization.
