Correction: it was a stray patch in FreeBSD port that made HAVE_ICONV 
undefined. Without it iconv is detected fine without nls.

However, I believe this is a bug in bash that HAVE_ICONV is conditional 
on the presence of libiconv. You should make the behavior unconditional, 
remove the dependency on HAVE_ICONV, and fail the build when it is missing.
