What could help is sending the configure script or at least telling us which
configure script generates these lines so that we could make a fuzzy guess.

Definitely not. You're the first (since I read the list and can remember
back) to report such an error.

You should trust the warning message. On all setups that I've seen (which
are not much, though), the glibc includes intl.

_My_ ./configure also tells me that libiconv.so could be in libc, too. Maybe
you didn't notice this line? It applies the same as above: Trust the warning
message until you get an *error*.

Makefile.in is generated by ./reconf. It would be best to follow [0] for
reporting bugs.
