Could be similar, but I don't think it's quite that.  I can see libiconv
in /sw/lib on ppc-sx2.cf.sourceforge.net, but there's no pcre there.
-liconv should presumably be present to get it to link properly; the
missing symbols do seem to be there.  It's possible the pcre bit is
somehow getting rid of -liconv.  I don't see how that could happen,
however.  The line output into configure is simply

if test x$enable_pcre = xyes; then
  LIBS="`pcre-config --libs` $LIBS"
fi
