I think I've gone and traded one problem for another.

 From what I've been able to work out so far, the gnu iconv doesn't 
handle the C locale conversion properly on Solaris. The fix for the 
iconv errors was to 'disable' iconv, which is to say - use the version 
bundled into the solaris glibc instead, and --disable-iconv.

Great, I built the package that you've tested, and sure enough the iconv 
errors go away.
However, looking at the ./configure scrolling on by, we now have a new 
issue:
Checking for bitmap font support ... yes
Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ... no (iconv support needed)
Checking for fontconfig ... no (freetype support needed)
Checking for SSA/ASS support ... no (FreeType support needed)

Hmm.

I'll keep at it!
