Seems like iconv.h is missing in your include paths, Lets try to find it: find /usr/include | grep iconv.h If nothing found, then you should recompile your libc with iconv/i18/whateverelseidontremember enabled.

So I copied iconv.h into /usr/include and tried to emerge uclibc again. But here I ran into bug 155970! :( This old bug 155970 describes, that gcc 4.1.1 is not able to compile with float point support. This version of gcc was not enough tested for arm. But I use the gcc version 4.1.2, which is stable for arm (see http://packages.gentoo.org/category/sys-devel?arches=all)! Please help me, because I cannot compile a new kernel without gettext!
it is possible to build a kernel w/out gettext. latest 2.6.28 should already support it, or if you're using an older version, search the embedded mailing list and/or forums. bugzilla isnt a support forum ... this bug is a dupe *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 214835 ***
