Build fails with missing library call on Solaris if GNU iconv is installed

           Summary: Build fails with missing library call on Solaris if GNU
                    iconv is installed
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.49
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: schatt@schatt.com


On Solaris 2.9 (probably earlier) if the GNU iconv package is installed, the apr-util configuration 
properly detects whether or not libiconv is installed, but fails to test to see whether or not the -liconv 
option needs to be added to the LIBS or EXTRA_LIBS variables (it does - since the functions are NOT 
present in the system libraries.
I think that the best way to solve this would be to include a test in the apr-util/configure script that, if 
iconv.h is detected, then tests to see if -liconv is necessary to use its functions.
