IMHO, that is not correctly compiled. You are still using
the version in glibc.
libiconv only has "libiconv_open", "libiconv_close" and "libiconv".
Looks like there is missing include path.
eg.
gcc -I/home/me/libiconv/_inst/include -o foo foo.c
-L/home/me/libiconv/_inst/lib -liconv

iconv.h in libiconv has eg.
#define iconv_open libiconv_open

The "nm" should look like this -
                 U __errno_location
                 U exit
                 U fprintf
                 U libiconv
                 U libiconv_close
                 U libiconv_open
                 U printf
                 U setlocale
                 U stderr
                 U strerror
