[csw-maintainers] User reported build problems with gcc4.3, Sun ld, and libiconv

[Sebastian Kayser]

Greetings,

I just received this build failure report from a user trying to build
libiconv with gcc4.3. Has someone seen an error like this before?
Further, are there any general known issues for our gcc4.3 (i vaguely
remember someone mentioning something).

Sun studio is not an option for him as he needs to build a full stack on
top of it which contains a massively GNUisms infested software. If
someone can help him out, David is on CC.
