You're probably picking up the Tru64 libiconv instead of the GNU libiconv.
Tru64 has an interesting library search algorithm where it looks for the
shared versions of libraries along the entire search path before it looks
for the static versions anywhere, so if you have GNU libiconv installed
static it will still find the system libiconv (which is shared) even if
it's later in the library search path.
