Compile problem linking iconv library (nagios 3.4.1)

[Alex Griffin]

Unfortunately, I think this is actually a long-standing bug in Nagios
Core. International characters are only displayed correctly from plugin
output. They are not displayed correctly when read from object
definitions, and are not allowed in text fields in the web interface
like submitting passive check results.
