Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 The reason for this seems to be that the libiconv library is not 32/64-bit
 universal on Tiger.
 {{{
 $ file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib
 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib: Mach-O universal
 binary with 2 architectures
 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib (for architecture
 ppc):  Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub ppc
 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib (for architecture
 i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub i386
 }}}
 As far as the configure scripts is concerned, libiconv is not installed,
 so it defaults to "char* * inbuf".

 This behavior is easy to override.[[BR]]
 Any thoughts on which convention we should choose?
