I've just tested R-alpha_2005-03-31.tar.gz. ./configure and make ran without any apparent errors, but make check failed:

Can you try again with a current (SVN) version of r-devel?
You will need to test this in a non-C locale. I wondered why this was working on my Solaris systems without iconv, but they are all in C.
Testing in LANG=en_GB shows that the recent patches have indeed resolved this.
The parts of the output fron ./configure that meantion "iconv" is
checking iconv.h usability... yes checking iconv.h presence... yes checking for iconv.h... yes checking for iconv... yes checking whether iconv() accepts "UTF-8" and "latin1"... no
That's the first time I have seen a Linux system fail that test ....
