--- Comment #5 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
is this a GCC bug, or really a gettext /iconv one?
(the comments at the top of the file suggest that these two m4 modules have
been imported)
A quick scan of the code suggests that the writers intended the CPPFLAGS to be
saved. However, variable names like "am_save_CPPFLAGS" can overwrite
previously saved values in the case of nested configuration tests; it's a very
common choice of save name and I have seen this in GCC config problems before.
If you change the am_save_CPPFLAGS in the iconv m4 to am_iconv_save_CPPFLAGS
(and regenerate all configures that include it) does that resolve the issue?
It looks like the gettext save value is already intended to be specific
(gt_save_CPPFLAGS)
