Configuring with --disable-libiconv should have prevented engaging any
installed iconv library.  FreeTDS relies on its built-in replacement
(limited to ISO-8859-1 <-> UCS-2 conversion).  

Perhaps the local character set name is surprising us?  

Jeremy, two more tiny things to test.  

1.  tsql -S servername -P port -U username -p password

tsql begins by outputting its client charset name.  

2.  In freetds.conf:

        client charset = ISO-8859-1

I wouldn't be surprised if that helps.  If it does, we'll have to provide
either a better message or a more graceful way to fallback to ISO-8859-1.
