This doesn't answer your specific question, but you might be able to
use a mingw-w64 pre-compiled 64-bit verions of libiconv.

I faced a similar issue with needing a mingw-w64 version libxml2, and
I didn't want to muck with autotools.  Brian, in an earlier thread on this
list, kindly directed me to:

   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/R215x.html

You can download:

   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/goodies/multilib/local215.zip

which contains, among other things, libiconv.

I am successfully using that version of libxml2, and I believe libxml2
depends on libiconv, so I suppose I'm using libiconv, as well.

(These are c, rather than c++ libraries, so my concerns about abi
incompatibilities between various version of mingw-w64 were unlikely
to cause problems, and seem not to have.,)
