Looks like a glibc incompatibility? Even with static linking you have to
make sure that iconv stuff is of the right version - I think it gets
dynamically loaded? So you should make sure that the "other" machine has
the same glibc as your compiling machine.

If you want to create a good portable binary, I recommend statically
linking libgcj, but dynamically linking glibc, linuxthreads, etc. That way
the installed glibc version shouldn't matter quite as much.
