It's simple: the functions iconv() and iconv_open() (and perhaps others?) in libiconv.dylib from the Fink libiconv-dev package are marked private, while some client software assumes they will exported, and in fact they *are* global symbols in the OS X libiconv.dylib. I hit this just now building gnupg-1.4.11; I had to use "configure --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr" and link against the system libiconv instead of Fink's in order for gnupg to build.

gnupg works for other people.  If there weren't any direct references to
your issue, then it is _not_ a known problem.

How about showing us the build failure you saw?
