Hi :)

I read this and the followup messages.  This situation is correct.
--disable-nls turns of usage of `gettext', but in Guile we still need to
be able to represent all codepoints and convert between them and many
encodings, which is an independent facility.  Disabling `gettext'
doesn't affect Guile's need for libiconv.
