This breaks compilation on IRIX 6.5.29m for me since there is no separate libiconv.so.

What version of IRIX are you using?

On my system, even the iconv utility doesn't link against a libiconv shared object. It seems the iconv functionality is in libc.

   # ldd /usr/bin/iconv
           libc.so.1  =>    /usr/lib32/libc.so.1

Could it be that you are using a third party iconv library? I've experienced this on another system and the problem was related to curl. In that case, curl was linked against an external iconv and not the native library, so if I tried to build with curl support, I had to also build against the external iconv library.
