Hi,

After few tests and as an alternative, this code taken from the proter
handbook and modifies a little, does the job pretty well (I hope)

post-patch:
.if empty(ICONV_LIB)
        # native iconv detected
        @${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's|-liconv||' ${WRKSRC}/configure
.endif

Does it make sense for any of you ?

Regards,
