I successfully got it to work by configuring with an explicit
--with-libiconv-prefix flag pointing to a library with iconv in it.
If configure is allowed to find iconv on its own, it messes up.

It's now in the middle of building the Java library.

Yes, you sent me a message before when I couldn't build at all, which I
applied, but you pointed me to a different patch:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html

This is the patch that http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-x-solaris2
points to.  If an additional patch is needed, install/specific.html
should be updated, and perhaps a single patch that does the whole job
should be made available.
