 Tom,
 
 Your solution worked!!!! You're a genius!!!!
 
 There's another problem which has appeared since we're past the libiconv
 problem.
 
 The configure process in the configure-target-libiberty part claims that
 the C compiler can not create executibles. I'm not sure which config.log
 illustrates the error so I've gathered the build log, install log (make
 install), and ALL the config.logs. I've seen this problem before but
 thought it was just something I did wrong because I was trying to hack past
 the libiconv  problem. I seem to recall seeing a -m64 option which is a
 request to generate 64bit code I think. The system is a ultra 5 with 64bit
 enabled. Should I report this as a "new" bug?
 
 Thanks A LOT for all your help!!!!!
 
 If you need me to try things in the future just let me know, I'll do the
 best I can. (This applies to all the other developers too).
 
 Regards,
 
 George...

 You'll have to submit another PR for that.

 The only option that matters to me is --with-libiconv-prefix.
 If you set this correctly and the build works, then I'm satisfied
 we've tracked down the bug.

 Tom,
 
 I've tried an experiment by invoking each configure using the --help option
 and redirecting to a file. I edited the file and specified parameters that
 I wanted for each and then copied all  the parameters into one file
 (script), deleted the dups and tried to build gcc. I don't think it worked
 but can't remember. Does this sound like what you had in mind? I'll try to
 do the build again and let you know...
 
 Regards and thanks for your time AND help,
 
 George...

 Hi George.
 
 Please continue to CC gcc-gnats so that relevant information is
 recorded in the PR.
 
 I'll attach your config.log to the PR.
 
 I think the problem you are seeing arises because:
 
 * You have libiconv installed
 * You don't tell configure this
   (using --with-libiconv-prefix)
 * Your system has its own native iconv implementation
 
 Can you verify this guess?
 
 The underlying bug seems to be that AM_ICONV, I think, doesn't notice
 it has found the libiconv <iconv.h>, and so then doesn't try to link
 in the actual library in the case where the system has a native
 iconv().  So confusion results.
 
 Tom
