Thanks for retrying. The libiconv install doesn't seem to be taken into
account: configure still says
   "checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv".
In order to fix that, you would have to look whether
  /usr/local/include/iconv.h
  /usr/local/lib/libiconv.{dll,a,la}
exist, and have a look at gettext-runtime/config.log.

Here the error indicates that you have no C++ compiler installed, only
the C compiler. However, on mingw, gettext is build using the C++ compiler
(partially).
