This won't work with GNU libiconv. Pull down the source for libxml and
look at how they do it then steal it. Don't assume that "iconv" is the
name of a valid function in -liconv. #include <iconv.h> first to
handle redefinitions of iconv.

From libiconv 1.8 build on Solaris 7:
  $ nm libiconv.so | grep iconv
  ...
  [801] | 131348| 56|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv
  [811] | 131420| 20|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv_close
  [803] | 130096| 1252|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv_open
  [828] | 131456| 308|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconvctl
  [817] | 131940| 404|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconvlist

From <iconv.h>
  ...
  #ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
  #define iconv libiconv
  #endif
  ...
