Eric,
Could you apply this patch to src/binutils/configure.ac :
pavilion: {343} svn diff configure.ac
Index: configure.ac
===================================================================
--- configure.ac (revision 1225)
+++ configure.ac (working copy)
@@ -1187,6 +1187,8 @@
ACX_PROG_GNAT
ACX_PROG_CMP_IGNORE_INITIAL
+AC_CHECK_HEADERS(iconv.h)
+
# Check for GMP and MPFR
gmplibs="-lmpfr -lgmp"
gmpinc=
pavilion: {344}
and then run
autoreconf
in the src/binutils directory.
After that, rebuild binutils.
You should find that HAVE_ICONV_H is defined. You or I can send this
upstream if it works.
