>Description:
User cannot fully disable libiconv and libgettext. When I use:

gdb-6.0$ ./configure --without-libiconv --with-x --disable-nls --prefix=/software/@sys/usr --without-gettext

I get unresolved dcgettext. When omitting the --without-libiconv option I get also unresiolved iconv_open. I have GNU gettext and GNU iconv installed but somewhat those libs really do not resolve this symbol. System iconv() should be in libc, so what's the cause I don't know.

What I report here is that for gdb subdir I have to re-run configure again to get rid fully of NLS.

When I wanted to disable just libiconv, I had to rerun configure manully under bfd/ , opcodes/ and gdb/.

For example, to get rid of whole NLS I still have to manually do:
$gdb-6.0$ cd gdb
$gdb-6.0$ rm config.cache
gdb-6.0$ ./configure --without-libiconv --with-x --disable-nls --prefix=/software/@sys/usr --without-gettext
$gdb-6.0$ make
$gdb-6.0$ cd ..
$gdb-6.0$ make install

I suggest turning NLS off by default.

Second, I suggest to introduce INSTALL file and document possible configure options. Those related to NLS, iconv, gettext would be of help. Why is doc/ directory misisng too?

Third, under utils/ subdirectory "make install" fails, so to be sure my install process fineshed properly I commented out from the toplevel Makefile the line with "cd utils; ... $(MAKE) install".
