The lang/gcc* ports always compile with -I/usr/local/include, so they
end up including /usr/local/include/iconv.h which belongs to libiconv
while clang includes /usr/include/iconv.h. So with gcc you either
have to link with -liconv or compile with -DLIBICONV_PLUG which makes
/usr/local/include/iconv.h behave like /usr/include/iconv.h.
