I checked and there is no iconv package (rpm).  I really don't want
to have to temporarily rename a header.  I can't hand this out to
the rest of the company, some of whom do not have root access to
be able to rename header files.

You might at least investigate if there is somehow another iconv.h
header besides the system one under /usr/include, that might have been
used by the compiler instead of the standard one from GNU libc.

Ok, I moved all the *iconv* stuff in /usr/local/<blah> and now
it builds ok.

However, I still get this:

install -d -m755 '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/'
(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
	(cd '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

So, I did a make -k and it worked ok, aside from this error.

I copied this line:

(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
	(cd '/opt/git-1.5.2.2/share//git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)

into a file, chmod +x'd that file, and cd'd into templates and ran
the script.  I got the same error.  I then tried running it by
hand from the command line:

% cd templates
% (cd blt && tar cf - .) | (cd /opt/git-1.5.2.2/share/git-core/templates && tar xf -)

and it worked fine.
