[Bug libgcj/14431] New: "configure --with-libiconv-prefix=" is ignored

[artem at bizlink dot ru]

FreeBSD (both 4 and 5) have libiconv installed under /usr/local,
yet gcc thinks that there is no libiconv installed,
even when "--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local" configure option is present.

Workaround is to:
8<----------------------------->8
cd /usr/include
ln -s /usr/local/include/iconv.h
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/iconv
8<----------------------------->8
After that "HAVE_ICONV" becomes properly defined
in libjava/include/config.h ...

Although this problem is global for a whole GCC,
I file this bug under libgcj becouse I didn't found a topic for
configure problems, and it seems that libgcj is primary
user of libiconv, and I primarily concerned about libiconv
available in libgcj...

I've encountered the same problem in gcc-3.2.2, so it is not a new one.
