This may actually be a GNU gettext problem, so I might have the wrong list. Maybe groff is carrying around a stale Autoconf macro. Please advise.
(Also, it's surprise to me that Autoconf thinks a sun4u system is not a
"64-bit host".)
checking for 64-bit host... no
checking for iconv... yes
checking for working iconv... yes
checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv
checking for iconv declaration...
extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, const char * *inbuf, size_t
*inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);
