It's not really broken.
wget http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/GNU/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.12.tar.gz

The problem was that I didn't have gperf installed, and while running 
./autogen.sh, it seems to try to update that aliases.h file after the 
gnulib update. So if you don't have gperf, you will end up with 
aliases.h missing.

I just skipped running ./autogen.sh, and directly run ./configure, and 
now it works.

Thanks for your help!
