 The problem is that I'm using **binaries** of other tools, therefore the decision what iconv library to use has been made by somebody else.

 If the problem was with what to use for **my build**, then indeed it would be trivial to resolve with a bit of {{{-L}}} and {{{-I}}} play. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do - because iconv chose to force collision on the library name level and incompatibility on the library functions name level.

+I'll investigate this path...
+I think the main problem here is that the two libraries (MacOS and Macports) use the same lib name but different function names. The static vs. dynamic does not seem relevant - because of the function names mismatch the libHSbase cannot use libiconv interchangeably between MacOS and Macports, and if libHSbase were dynamic the situation would've been exactly the same.
+I'll investigate the path you're suggesting.
