Created attachment 101455 [details] config.log
this is a --as-needed issue, the configure fails to detect iconv support from pilot-link.
Created attachment 102967 [details, diff] evolution-2.8.2.1-pilot-link.patch This patch solves the problem of iconv detection in pilot-link
Created attachment 106875 [details] Ebuild that applies the pilot-link patch Just confirming that Gilles patch worked for me, so heres the ebuild I used to apply it.
