OK, configure.in is not smart enough to know that if you specify a
--with-libiconv, the library might be a shared library, and thus, it
should try -R...

Actually, it should check for -R for architectures for which it applies,
anyway.

It shouldn't be hard to teach it how to do that.

This was Solaris, wasn't it?
