When asking for help, please be sure to provide an exact copy of the 
errors, with a couple lines above and below. Usually you do not need to 
provide entire config.log (and usually never config.status).

Your system probably should not have libiconv. I assume it should just use 
iconv_open, iconv_close and iconv from GLIBC.

Maybe as a workaround, you can add -liconv to your LIBS, like:

LIBS=-liconv make

or:

LIBS=-liconv ./configure

(I don't think this shoujld be needed on a Debian system.)

Those are generally normal. The job of configure is to check various for 
various features on the system. It is normal (and expected) for it to have 
(many) errors like above.

If you look near the specific error you quoted, you will see what it was 
testing for (checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C).

As I said the the configure finished. If it had not finished, then you 
would not have a Makefile in the first place.

The config.log and config.status files are usually not needed to be 
attached.
