The -I options that you are passing to the compiler apparently contain
a directory that contains a gnulib-generated stdio.h file with replacements
for the functions fputc, fputs, fwrite, fprintf, etc.

GNU libiconv is meant to be built with the gnulib modules in srclib.

If you want to add additional gnulib modules, you not only need to
pass the extra -I options (that you have added) but also -L options
(that you have not added, obviously).
