I had a discussion with a libtool developer about a similar issue once
before. He said it is wrong to have two copies of a library, so the
problem may be more fundamental. However, it is strange gd ignores the
option to look for iconv in $SAGE_LOCAL.
One disadvantage of reverting R and not installing iconv is that iconv is
needed to build gd on Cygwin, and there is effort into porting Sage to
Cygwin.
We could consider only installing iconv on Solaris and Cygwin, though I'm
tempted to suggest reverting R and getting the problem solved properly at
a later date, rather than a hack now.
