What's the failure?  Following your steps above I found build.sh built
libiconv fine for me.  If you're still having trouble and want to
follow-up, please send along your cygcheck -srv output as an attachment.
And of course there's Marco's point that libiconv-1.14 is available
already as a package, if that's all you need.
