Thanks Stefan,

I tried --with-iconv=no, and it didn't seem to affect things at all.
The strange part is that I have a complete iconv installation right
in /usr/lib.

So searching on the mailing lists, I found talk of enabling a
universal
binary. When I added --enable-universal the build worked!

(this is on Leopard with wxWidgets HEAD 2.9.xxxx)
