--- Comment #6 from Don Lewis <truckman at FreeBSD.org> ---
That looks like something is broken in your copy of the ports framework.  Is
ports/Mk up to date?

That said, I don't think that r398027 will help with this problem.  The fixes
in that are only for the !ICU case.

The question in my mind is why boost is even doing anything with iconv when the
ICU option is enabled.  It builds fine on FreeBSD 9.3, which doesn't have iconv
in libc.

% nm -D /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so | grep iconv

I see that it's "configure" does find iconv in libc on FreeBSD 10:
    - iconv (libc)             : yes
    - icu                      : yes

There may be a way to get it to ignore iconv if ICU is enabled, or I may be
able to force it to ignore the ports iconv even if it is present.  Going the
other way is undesirable as a default because that would always mean an extra
dependency, and doing something automatic causes problems because the results
are inconsistent because they depend on the build environment.
