I think this error could happen if:

- you have a recent libiconv installed somewhere with an iconv.h at
/usr/local/include, for instance

- apr-util does *not* detect libiconv and use -liconv, but it *does*
pick up libiconv's iconv.h which redefines "iconv_open" to
"libiconv_open" etc.

If this is correct, find the iconv.h from libiconv and remove it, then
rebuild apr-util and subversion. It's pretty hard to solve this kind of
problem in a configure script in general.
