Since the previous poster did not really explain what he did (for those of us
who are not all that experienced with compiling) ...

1. Locate the LDFLAGS line in test/Makefile (I also did this in src/Makefile.in)
2. Add -liconv to the end of the line
3. Run configure even if you already did so
4. Run make clean if you already tried to compile
5. Run make

It will then compile correctly.

This is also used to solve the same problems with other packages as described in
bug 2775.   Basically, if you run into any libiconv "unreferenced symbol" error
regardless of the package that you're trying to compile, this seems to be what
you need to do to fix it.
