    after upgrading to latest libiconv, building httpd againt it fails with the following message:

    grep_64: /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory
/opt/freeware/bin/sed: can't read /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory
libtool:   error: '/opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.la' is not a valid libtool archive
gmake[4]: *** [/home/packagebuilder/apache2-itsv/httpd/modules/filters/modules.mk:28: mod_xml2enc.la] Error 1
gmake[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
grep_64: /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory
/opt/freeware/bin/sed: can't read /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory​
     downgrade to 1.14-2  make this error disapear. any exceptional changes in the lib which could cause this beside
    the missing *.la file which makes linking impossible anyway?

    Shipping .la files with rpm packages complicates things and are not needed.
    Unfortunately AIX Toolbox rpms shipped these files for sometime and now we are not shipping it.
    It will take sometime to replicate this to all the packages. 
    For the timebeing, i would suggest to remove all " *.la " files from /opt/freeware/lib & /opt/freeware/lib64
