[Question] Building without iconv

[Kevin Korb]

Works for me...
$ ./configure --disable-iconv --disable-locale --disable-openssl 
--disable-xxhash --disable-zstd --disable-lz4 && make
$ ldd rsync
         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd39873000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f77c8f8b000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f77c9259000)
$ uname -a
Linux fog 5.15.0-133-generic #144-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 7 20:47:38 UTC 2025 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Maybe whatever mystery platform you are on needs some Makefile tweaking?
