Hello, bumping this bug. This is still present in current PHP versions >= 7.0
The _libiconv_version variable is not defined in the GNU libiconv header file but it's only
declared there. This is a built header on Linux systems of GNU Libiconv 1.15, for example:
#define _LIBICONV_VERSION 0x010F /* version number: (major<<8) + minor */
extern int _libiconv_version; /* Likewise */
Note, that _libiconv_version variable is set as a DLL one for Windows systems. For example, file
gnu-libiconv-1.15/include/iconv.h.in:
#define _LIBICONV_VERSION 0x010F /* version number: (major<<8) + minor */
extern @DLL_VARIABLE@ int _libiconv_version; /* Likewise */
So, therefore the warning and error. Checking this out if it can be fixed simply and in some
reasonable time.

Used a few hours trying to debug this in my build of PHP-5.1.1. The problem seems to exist when
having installed libiconv on a linux-box that also support iconv in its glibc (such as RedHat
Enterprise WS 3.x).
If you have libiconv installed under /usr/local, try giving configure
"--with-iconv=/usr/local" for it to link against that version (assuming iconv.h is found
under /usr/local/include).
The configure script checks for iconv-support around line 44061, but the
"--with-iconv-dir" doesn't get checked before somewhere around line 95498, and is
only used for XMLRPC-EPI, not to compile ext/iconv/iconv.c.
For the binaries to link correctly (we use non-standard paths for our builds), you might have to
specify the proper CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS as well, e.g:
CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/lib -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib"
(or '-R' instead of '-Wl,-rpath' depending on arch).

I got the same issue, but I was able to fix it by moving my iconv.h header like previously stated.
I'm using a modified version of Debian "Woody" and PHP 5.0.2 with updated libraries
similar to bug report.
libiconv-1.9.2, libxml2-2.6.7, and libxslt-1.1.2.

I too got this bug, with PHP 4.3.8
I fixed it though.
The problem was I had --with-iconv --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local
in my configure line.
I dropped the first --with-iconv and kept just --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local
Did a configure, make and this time no errors.

Propably one of the most lame way to fix this but it works (almost perfectly). I copied iconv.h from
/usr/local/include/iconv.h to /usr/include/iconv.h These two versions were different on my machine.
After switching, compilation went almost OK - there were some warnings, but PHP compiled and iconv
works OK.
