GetText 1.20.1 and libgettextlib.so: undefined reference to `libiconv' (and friends)

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm building GetText 1.20.1 from sources on NetBSD. msgcmp is failing:

/bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g2 -O2 -fPIC -pthread
 -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-R,'$ORIGIN/../lib' -Wl,-R,/usr/local/lib
-Wl,--enable-new-dtags -o msgcmp msgcmp-msgcmp.o msgcmp-msgl-fsearch.o
libgettextsrc.la  -lm  -lpthread

gmake[5]: *** [Makefile:2909: msgcmp] Error 1

I configured GetText with --with-libiconv-prefix=[DIR], but it looks
like -liconv and did not make it into the recipe. Adding -liconv to
LIBS did not help.
