Comment:
Ralf Wildenhues, who is a '''libtool''' developer kindly took a look at
this for me - iconv uses libtool. The solution is to use:
{{{
CC="gcc -m64"
}}}
rather than have
{{{
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-m64
}}}
(Of course, gcc and -m64 should not be hardcoded - use $CC and $CFLAG64 in
place). But the basic problem is that setting -m64 in CLFAGS does not work
for some packages, and iconv is one of them. {{{Numpy}}} {{{Pynac}}} and
{{{Libfplll}}} are other packages which will not build properly if only
{{{CFLAGS}}} is set.
I will add the necessary changes to #9603, which initially started off as
a very small fix to install iconv on HP-UX, but has now generated into an
almost complete redesign of the iconv package.
The solution Ralf found has been posted to the libtool mailing list, but
I'll get it put in the iconv one too, so others hopefully don't hit this
problem.
I'm cc'ing Leif, so he knows why the change will need to be made to #9603.
