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.
