I think PR java/2812 could explain this a bit. I'm guessing that
AM_ICONV is SNAFU-ing slightly on the submitter's build machine.

Whether iconv( ) is used or not when --disable-nls is specified
depends on what *exactly* we take this configure option to 
mean - does it only mean that the compiler messages would be in
the standard US-English or even that the compiler cannot parse
non-ASCII files.

The latter might not augur well with what Java compilers are
supposed to be able to do, AFAICT.

My 2p.
