The problem is now solved if you take the gettext.m4 and iconv.m4
autoconf macros from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11-pre3.tar.gz.
You also need to copy the files

   config.rpath
   m4/lib-ld.m4
   m4/lib-link.m4
   m4/lib-prefix.m4

The effect of these macros is to change the value of LIBICONV from

           "-L/some/prefix/lib -liconv"
to
           "/some/prefix/lib/iconv.so -R/some/prefix/lib"

or whatever platform dependent flags are needed to ensure proper
linking. Similarly for the value of LIBINTL that gets substituted in
the Makefiles.
