[PATCH] Link against libiconv on IRIX

[PATCH] Link against libiconv on IRIX

[Holger Weiß]

On IRIX, "-liconv" must be added to the linker command line in order to
get iconv(3) support; set the according Makefile variable appropriately.

This breaks compilation on IRIX 6.5.29m for me since there
is no separate libiconv.so.

What version of IRIX are you using?

On my system, even the iconv utility doesn't link against
a libiconv shared object.  It seems the iconv functionality is in libc.

   # ldd /usr/bin/iconv
           libc.so.1  =>    /usr/lib32/libc.so.1

Could it be that you are using a third party iconv library?
I've experienced this on another system and the problem was related
to curl.  In that case, curl was linked against an external iconv and
not the native library, so if I tried to build with curl support, I had
to also build against the external iconv library.

Thanks for the report.

In the meantime I'll revert 2170422 (Link against libiconv on IRIX,
2010-03-29) and wait for an improved, probably a conditional, change.

This was exactly the problem in our case, too.  I'm sorry for the
incorrect patch.
