At least one did, and I replied, but I guess the list sidelined it.

Attached is a copy of the iconv.h file from my Cygwin environment. If
you look at that, there are some #ifdefs in there like this:
#ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
#define iconv_close libiconv_close
#endif
I actually tried temporarily replacing the iconv.h with a copy that had
that stuff commented out, but even then refdb wouldn't build.
Also attached is a copy of my config.log for the build.

Yeah, I reckon that once I update my libdbi kit on Debian, I won't have
any problems on Debian either. But the Cygwin stuff still has me stumped.
