Hi, Greg.

Thank you for your suggestions; they were seriously helpful!  I didn't
know about config.log, and that indeed contained the explanation of what
was going wrong.  You were spot on in your suspicion that something
probably went wrong in the cc invocation and that it wasn't about iconv
at all!

So, the real problem is that the test configure program can't find the
notmuch library!  Upon investigating this, it turns out the problem is
that the notmuch library was built with an incorrect install_name, thus
preventing any program (including this configure test program) that
links with it as a dependent library from finding it when run.  (I just
recently sent an email to the pkgsrc-users list with a patch to fix
that. [1])

After fixing the notmuch library, the configure phase completes
successfully.  Problem solved.  (There's another problem now, in the
build phase, but I'll send a fix for that to the list in a new thread.)

Yes, I'm generally able to build things.

Again, thank you for your excellent help!
