Does --with-libiconv-prefix work?

[John Salinas <jsalinas@xxxxxxxx>]

I have run configure like this: 

./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src/lib/ 
--with-curses=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src/usr --prefix=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src 
--enable-imap --enable-flock --disable-fcntl

and

./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src/lib/libiconv.so 
--with-curses=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src/usr --prefix=/users/jsalinas/mutt-src 
--enable-imap --enable-flock --disable-fcntl

where /users/jsalinas/mutt-src/lib/ contains:
ls -l /users/jsalinas/mutt-src/lib/
total 2235

-rw-r--r--  1 jsalinas hdwe 1119729 2007-02-22 11:11 preloadable_libiconv.so

However when I try to make it does not pick up the shared object 
libiconv:

...etc... 

Should I expect this to work?

This was with 
mutt-1.5.13 compiled under:
uname -a
Linux gold.us.cray.com 2.6.8-24.24-bigsmp #1 SMP Fri Jul 21 04:06:26 UTC 2006 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I realize that libiconv is not in the system's cache of libs:
jsalinas@gold:~/mutt-src/mutt-1.5.13> ldconfig -p |grep -i libiconv
jsalinas@gold:~/mutt-src/mutt-1.5.13>  

But I did expect make to know where to look for it.  I did try to 
use the system's default but the configure said it was not good 
enough.  Any thoughts on getting this to work would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks,
john
