Problem with installing coreutils port

[Manish Jain]

Hello All,

I recently had to re-install FreeBSD on my system. I installed 
FreeBSD-8.3-i386 and successfully managed to install all ports except 
one - the sysutils/coreutils port.

Underneath is the error I get :

I tried deinstall followed by reinstall of the iconv port. But even that 
does not solve the problem listed above.

Can anyone please point out what might be the error and any possible 
solution ? I personally think the port is either broken, or the Makefile 
does not use the correct link options.


Thank you &
