configure does not detect GNU libiconv correctly

Description

The following code:

I am running configure for compiling php 8.2.8 and, when checking if libiconv is available, I get this error message:

checking for mhash support... no
checking size of long... (cached) 8
checking if we're at 64-bit platform... yes
checking for iconv support... yes
checking for iconv... yes
checking if iconv is glibc's... no
checking if using GNU libiconv... no
checking if iconv is Konstantin Chuguev's... no
checking if using IBM iconv... no
checking if iconv supports errno... no
configure: error: iconv does not support errno

The final error message, about errno, is not really correct, since it is derived from all iconv preceeding lines failing. It seems that my iconv is not glibc, nor GNU, nor Chuguev, nor IBM. But my iconv installation is the GNU one, as shown here:

~ $ iconv --version

So, since no iconv is detected, the linker does not add -liconv parameter, and the next conftest, the one about errno, fails because of link error:

configure:44279: checking if iconv supports errno

|   } else {
|       return 1;
|     }
|   }
|   iconv_close( cd );
|   return 2;
| }
| 
configure:44317: result: no

Please note that there are no issues when looking for the iconv.h include file.

If I call the compiler manually, with same parameters plus -liconv then build and link are fine.

Resulted in this output:

checking for mhash support... no
checking size of long... (cached) 8
checking if we're at 64-bit platform... yes
checking for iconv support... yes
checking for iconv... yes
checking if iconv is glibc's... no
checking if using GNU libiconv... no
checking if iconv is Konstantin Chuguev's... no
checking if using IBM iconv... no
checking if iconv supports errno... no
configure: error: iconv does not support errno

But I expected this output instead:

Well, I suppose that GNU libiconv test should not fail, at very lest.

checking for mhash support... no
checking size of long... (cached) 8
checking if we're at 64-bit platform... yes

PHP Version

Operating System

termux 0.118.0

Bắt đầu với các bước kiểm tra phát hiện iconv của configure được mô tả trong issue và so sánh bài kiểm tra GNU libiconv với lệnh liên kết conftest được hiển thị. Tái hiện lỗi trên Termux, sau đó xác minh rằng GNU libiconv được nhận diện và các cờ linker bắt buộc được đưa vào mà không làm kiểm tra errno thất bại.
