---disable-asm

+   If your system doesn't provide iconv() function in its native libraries
+(usually libc) or if this function is broken (e.g. older Solaris systems),
+you may want to use libiconv instead.  The DIR is the upper path in your

 package or does not want to use them, you can give the --disable-asm
 option to the `configure' script.  This will assure that assembler
