Ok, I moved all the *iconv* stuff in /usr/local/<blah> and now it builds ok.

However, I still get this:

install -d -m755 '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/'
(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
	(cd '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

So, I did a make -k and it worked ok, aside from this error.

I copied this line:

(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
	(cd '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)

into a file, chmod +x'd that file, and cd'd into templates and ran the script. I got the same error. I then tried running it by hand from the command line:

% cd templates % (cd blt && tar cf - .) | (cd /opt/git-1.5.2.2/share/git-core/templates && tar xf -)

and it worked fine.
