Why on earth is g.list using libiconv? The only program which is meant
to be using libiconv is d.text.freetype; that's the only reason that
the iconv checks exist.

Hmm. Is libiconv a dependency of libintl? That would explain it.

Sometime between 5.0.1 and 5.0.2, $(INTLLIB) was added to the
definition of GISLIB in src/CMD/generic/make.mid (5.0/5.3) and
include/Make/Grass.make.in (5.7). This is bogus; $(INTLLIB) should
only be used if --with-nls was used.

The obvious fix is to move the libintl checks so that they are only
performed if --with-nls is used, and so that INTLLIB is empty
otherwise.
