+ * README: Don't recommend to use --prefix=/usr/local, as it produces
+ problems with GCC (since GCC's treatment of /usr/local/include and
+ /usr/local/lib is inconsistent by default). Don't recommend to use
+ the iconv.m4 installed by GNU gettext, because it won't work when
+ GNU automake and GNU gettext are installed with different --prefix
+ options; instead recommend the 'iconv' module from gnulib.

recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it!
