I could not get it to build because it's trying to find a libiconv, but iconv is part of glibc. I was able to build it after some monkeying around with replacing the iconv.m4 with the one in /usr/share/aclocal, adding lib-ld.m4, lib-link.m4, and lib-prefix.m4, changing the LC_ICONV to AC_ICONV in configure.in, and changing a few of the variables in the src/makefile.in, and then running autoconf to regenerate configure.
