I don't see why libiconv is needed on Cygwin.
One can install libiconv on Cygwin system-wide, using the Cygwin
installer.
I expect you can install iconv using the installer, but iconv is not installed
by default, which goes away from Sage's philosophy of including all the
dependencies. A trac ticket was raised some time ago, which says iconv was
needed on Cygwin - see:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7319
I can't understand why having two versions of iconv cause problems on some
systems, but not on others. I would have expected that the first one in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH would have been used, and any others ignored. But that does not
necessarily seem to be the case.

Hi There,
Thanks to David, the issues #8567 "Change iconv so it builds on Cygwin and
Solaris only" seems to have a fix, but before giving positive review, I think
it should be tested on Cygwin...
I think I owe everyone an explanation why the Sage 4.3.4 release is
broken for Fedora and openSUSE. Before I announce a release, whether
it be an alpha release or an rc, I would build and long doctest it on
the following machines:
* sage.math: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, 24 cores, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X7460 @
2.66GHz, 132 GB RAM, GCC 4.2.4
* bsd.math: Mac OS X 10.6.2, 4 cores, Intel Xeon @ 2.66 GHz, 8 GB RAM, GCC 4.2.1
* winxp1 (Cygwin virtual machine on boxen.math): CYGWIN_NT-5.1, 1
core, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X7460 @ 2.66GHz, 2 GB RAM, GCC 4.3.4
If anyone have access to this machine (or any Cygwin), can you test that
sage-4.3.4 with iconv-1.31.1.spkg replaced by
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/iconv/iconv-1.13.1.p0.spkg
correctly builds and set up a positive review. If it's ok, what about
re-releasing sage with this fix after that.
Cheers,
Florent
