Sorry, I thought my archive contained both the dynamic lib and the
static lib. It doesn't (for libiconv). It does (for libcharset). I'm
not interested in tracking this down right now.

Yes -- if you're using a patched ld. It works for me w.r.t. glib (but I
haven't and won't try building bleadperl anytime soon). (Glib build
fails, but libiconv linking is not the reason; libiconv linking works)
If it doesn't work for you, with perl -- I'm sorry. As I said earlier,
no support.
Damn. I'm sorry I ever mentioned this.
