supposed missing iconv with cygwin 1.7.0

["Bobby McNulty" <snyder100 at bellsouth dot net>]

When building binutils with cygwin 1.7.0 cvs and snapshot, make reports that
iconv is missing. I think it also happens with gcc.
This was captured from cygwin's bash.
Is this a known issue? The only solution I could come up with is installing
a new libiconv, but the current libibiconv is from 2006.
This has made me hesitant about trying the new dll.
It compiles fine under cygwin 1.5.24-2, the current dll.
