Description:
------------
I'm unable to compile PHP 8.0.0 with enabled iconv.
This is output from configure command:
checking for iconv support... yes
checking for iconv... yes
checking if iconv is glibc's... yes
checking if iconv supports errno... no
configure: error: iconv does not support errno

I tried compile PHP 7.4.13 with the same version of iconv (1.16), there everything is OK.
checking for iconv support... yes
checking for iconv... yes
checking if iconv is glibc's... yes
checking if iconv supports errno... yes
checking if iconv supports //IGNORE... no

As of PHP 8.0.0, iconv implementation which do not support errno
(i.e. non POSIX conforming implementations) are no longer
supported.  Either you glic iconv does not support errno, or that
support is wrongly detected.

Consider to install and use libiconv.

I am also getting the same error.
Will it be fixed in the next version?

Tomas, could you please tell us what error is logged in the config.log?

As suggested by cmg, this is a problem of detection; but in my case (FreeBSD 10.2, with "hand"-compiled GNU iconv 1.16 without pkgconfig), the detection program had no problem, rather it was its compile env that lacked a -liconv.

So this could be circumvented by running an:
  export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -liconv"
before the configure.

I _think_ that, like you, I had no problem compiling a PHP 7 in the same environment (so this detect failure would be a configure regression); but I cannot be certain.
