Before I found a copy of config.rpath, I ran a test where I just did:
% touch config.rpath
% ./buildgen.sh
That created the configure script, but the resulting script was not able to
find libiconv even though I told it the right path with
--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local.
I could be wrong, but it looks like the generated configure script does not
include config.rpath inside itself: it refers to it as an external file.
Without having this script present, the autoconfiguration of iconv fails,
because it doesn't actually generate a search path.

Yes, I have gettext installed (also as a package), I have config.rpath as
/usr/local/share/gettext/config.rpath. I'm not sure why automake can't find
it though.
