I don't really understand what is > configuring Gnulib, since it has no configure script. Gnulib is a library of source files, including C files, Autoconf macros, etc. Guile uses Gnulib’s ‘libunistring’ module, which in turn depends on the ‘iconv’ module (see m4/gnulib-cache.m4 in the Guile tree). The latter is the one that provides the ‘--with-libiconv-prefix’ configure option and the $(LTLIBICONV) variable used in libguile/Makefile.am. On non-GNU systems, that variable should be non-empty. Hopefully this is enough info to ping bug-gnulib@gnu.org. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
