Description Mauricio L. Pilla (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I am updating my Gentoo FreeBSD from 9.1 to 10.3. In the process, I was experiencing fails with dev-libs/libintl-perl-1.240.0-r2. It failed while ld was trying to find -liconv. In my /usr/lib, there was libiconv_std.* and libiconv_none.*, thus I had to make a link:
ln -s libiconv_std.so libiconv.so
After that it emerged OK.

I don't have dev-libs/libiconv as it blocks sys-freebsd/freebsd-ubin-10.3, sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib-10.3-r1. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge dev-perl/libintl-perl 
2.fail while not finding libiconv.so

Actual Results:  
Not emerged.

Expected Results:  
Package emerged.

Confirmed just now.

If /lib/libiconv.so.* exists in your environment, it seems to try to link libiconv.
Please remove them when emerge -e @world is successful.

Caution
Because core component (bash,libarchive,etc...) is linked to libiconv, 
please do not remove them before emerge -e @world is successful !

Workaround
ebuild libintl-perl-1.240.0-r2.ebuild prepare
gsed -i 's: -liconv::' /var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/libintl-perl-1.240.0-r2/work/libintl-perl-1.24/gettext_xs/Makefile.PL
ebuild libintl-perl-1.240.0-r2.ebuild merge

10.0 or later, the system has a iconv.
libiconv is not required.

Thanks again, I am in the process of emerge -e @world.

If a build log from this failing can be provided (or a newer version, preferably), maybe perl team can lend a hand?

Otherwise it looks a fair bit like, bug #648350 in possibly having some discrepancy between "configure" phase.

*-fbsd is gone.
