Re: ‘iconv’ fails to build on NetBSD 5.1

Hi Ludo,

Can you show the gnulib-tool invocations that you used when builting
the tarball of your package? In particular, which of the modules
'iconv', 'iconv-h', 'iconv_open' are used, and which --avoid options
are used?

This shouldn't be.

This shouldn't be either. Can you 'grep serial aclocal.m4' ?

... or maybe you are using a version of iconv.m4 that doesn't contain this
snippet...?
