Thanks for the report. Can you try commenting out the '  hpux*) ...' line
in src/Makefile and retry the "gmake install" command?

There is a comment in src/Makefile.in that indicates that this direct invocation
of /opt/aCC/bin/cc is a workaround against a problem induced by the combination
of libtool and the HP-UX linker. Maybe the problem no longer exists and the
workaround is no longer needed?

If you still don't succeed, then leave things as is. You will have an 'iconv'
program that works; its only deficiency will be that it is not
internationalized. Normally you can live with that.
