[bug-gnu-libiconv] Attempting to compile configure libiconv with only c99

[Randall S. Becker]

G'Day,

This may or may not be a defect, but I need some help. I am trying to build
libiconv (1.14) on an HPE NonStop server that has c89 and c99; neither of
which support the GCC extension #include_next, and porting GCC is not an
option. This seems to be more an issue in libcharset and srclib that are on
the tarball. There does not seem to be an option documented (or support for)
in configure to use standard mechanisms for resolving #include loops. Does a
recipe exist for building on this type of system? I need to change
config.sub to support the platform regardless, so options there are
available - if that helps. The bug seems to be that libiconv will only build
on systems supporting the extension, is that the case now?

Cheers,
Randall
