I wouldn't encourage to use -liconv on FreeBSD generally: - FreeBSD 9 doesn't need it because libiconv.so is used automatically. Although it doesn't harm. - On FreeBSD 10 it also shouldn't be used because the iconv functions have been moved from ports to base system and are now located in libc.so. Unfortunately there are some FreeBSD 10 out there that don't have it in libc.so. I couldn't find out why, but it could be that they are old FreeBSD 10-current systems which have been updated and something with the update is incomplete. The package libiconv that is needed for -liconv can sometimes conflict with the iconv functions in libc.so. So it is normally better to not install the package. My solution would be to check for existence of the package (/usr/local/include/icon.h). If it exists set -liconv, other- wise leave it out. I have patches for it and I can send them if there is some interest. These patches also include build changes for FreeBSD 10. Default is now to build everything with clang, also the cpp part. But it can easily switched back to gcc by a config line in host.def or site.def. In neither way it's necessary to move compiler binaries on the system. But I would need some days (next weekend) to complete the patches and to test them against the latest CDE code.
