It works okay on my Mac (although I'm still running OS X 10.5, not
10.6). But one possibility is that it's using the headers from one
location, and the library from another. See this blog post for a

The test gcc 4.4 is built using macports, so it's likely they'll have
at least two versions of iconv on their machine (the apple one with
prefix /usr and the macports one with prefix /opt/local). But that
isn't a problem for me, so it might not be the problem here.
