Thanks to Christian note I solved the issue. Also thanks to Matthias' advice I've been able to configure ghc to use GNU iconv in /usr/local, but the result was still the same. I later used Christian advice to force ghc not to use /usr/local's iconv and this really configured correctly (like sparky's: checking for library containing iconv... none required) and now finally my buildbot is working even for head.
Note the provided /usr/local iconv is probably from package provided by sunfreeware.com and is there from the old SXDE 1/08 installation. Now I'm using OpenSolaris 2009.06 and trying to get rid of such additions which are no longer needed. Thanks for all the help provided!
