On most systems, the order in which you list libraries on the link line is important. All of the symbols you mention are in the shared C library, so they will normally get linked in automatically. One reason why that might not happen is if you *explicitly* list `-lc' on the link line, and it's too early in the line, as is the case above. I would guess the problem is either with your gettext installation or your libiconv installation. Either gettext's `libintl.la' shouldn't be specifying `-lc', or both `libintl.la' and `libiconv.la' should be.
