New description:
Since iconv was added to Sage (#8432) as a standard package (needed due to
Karl-Dieter Crisman updating R in #6532 whilst overlooking the warning
message from the configure script and without testing on Solaris), there
have been some problems on Fedora and !OpenSuse which look to be related
to problems building gd when there are two copies of iconv to be found on
the system. Since there is an option to gd's configure script specify the
location of the iconv that seemed the most logical option. However, that
did not work, so changing iconv to only build on Cygwin and Solaris seemed
the most logical.

package for others to review.
