I'm pretty sure that that is harmless.

How to fix:
Install the 'libiconv' package from setup.exe, and either re-run configure,
or manually edit obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/utils/Makefile, changing
"LIBICONV:=" to "LIBICONV:=-liconv".

Why it happens:
The build system tries to check if you have the necessary libraries to build
dumper. It worked well back when Cygwin's libintl build didn't depend on
libiconv. Now it does, and the build system hasn't been updated to know
about this.
