$ file .../libiconv.so*

should tell you.

Typical configuration for a 32-bit build:
  $ ./configure CC="gcc -m32" CPPFLAGS=-Wall \
                --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib

Typical configuration for a 64-bit build:
  $ ./configure CC="gcc -m64" CPPFLAGS=-Wall \
                --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib/64

or if you use the vendor's compiler:

Typical configuration for a 32-bit build:
  $ ./configure CC="cc -O" \
                --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib

Typical configuration for a 64-bit build:
  $ ./configure CC="cc -xarch=amd64 -O" \
                --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib/64

The "/64" suffix for the --libdir is specific to Solaris. On other OSes
the conventions for bi-arch systems are different.

Also, don't forget to add necessary -I options to CPPFLAGS and -L options
to LDFLAGS.
