Summary:                    build is not thread-safe - errno issues
Description: 
errno in libiconv latest build is a simple global variable

[amok at border](1)~/$ nm /opt/csw/lib/amd64/libiconv.so | grep errno
[954]   |             0|           0|OBJT |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |errno

Programs build with thread-safe errno fail on errno check
when iconv() returns with non zero value and should set errno.

Package from blastwave.org is build with thread-safe errno BTW.

[amok at border](1)~/$ nm /opt/csw/lib/amd64/libiconv.so | grep errno
[1314]  |             0|           0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |___errno
