Oddly, when I compile the latest Github HEAD branch after ¨./configure" without 
any options, everything builds fine. If I compile after "./configure 
--prefix=/opt/dovecot", I get the following build error:

gmake[3]: Entering directory '/home/joel/dovecot/src/lib-charset'
  CC       charset-iconv.lo
