This is not so much a user help question, as a bug report (I think!)
Previous versions of R allowed the option --with-iconv=no to used to disable the
use of iconv. That option is no longer documented. However, using that option on
the latest does not generate an error message, but is silently ignored. Later
one gets the message:
configure: error: a suitable iconv is essential
So since it is essential to have iconv package, it is desirable to have the
option rejected.
