Hmm, that should probably be $(LTLIBICONV), can you post the two 
definitions please?

Yep, for libq/Makefile.am, automake needs to be run in the main source 
dir. Or you can try to just run autogen.sh, that should rebuild the 
entire configury (but probably that won't work either, given that 
automake gives you the troubles you mentioned below).

Hmm, looks like automake tries to execute autoconf (maybe wants to get 
the autoconf version?) and doesn't find it. Is autoconf/automake working 
with other programs? You could also try to fix the corresponding 
Makefile.in's instead, add the proper link options manually and then 
rerun configure, if automake doesn't work for you. (But see below.)

Yes, clearly the proper link option for libiconv is missing. So I'll 
have to add a corresponding LIBADD line in libq/Makefile.am and also 
modify the LIBADD lines in the other Makefile.am's I mentioned. If you 
can wait a little more, I'll  try to figure out what the right @XYZ@ 
variables are which have to be included for libiconv and libgettext, and 
then prepare a new tarball.
