  At what stage? IShould I do a make bootstrap as normal, then
issue the above at each point it fails? Should that, in fact, be
'make LIBS=-liconv bootstrap'?

  I did try doing makes in gcc/, but it seemed to work OK in the
first instance because the top level Makefile passes distinct
new flags into the gcc/Makefile that I hadn't got by hand, and I
wasn't happy that I new enough about these to let a gcc/ subdir
'make' be part of the process.


  For the time being, I renamed my GNU iconv.h out of the way so
that, presumably, it's not being used and compilation is
progressing flawlessly. However - will I be losing any Java
functionality by not using GNU iconv?
