Bill:
It might also be the case that you're seeing the same issue as ghci not finding the stdc++ library. The solution may be as simple as hacking the Makefile is nail a specific PATH to where iconv.dll is located. But, I'm not in front of a development box, so I can't be of much help.

I ended up getting an error during stage 2 about the iconv.dll not being findable. (I'm guessing the new msys/mingw autosmarted GHC boot/configure or cabal configure process somehow ....)
Yep. This is most likely the problem. -liconv wasn't found during Simon's 8/23 ghc-HEAD build on Windows: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/simonmar-win32-head/377/8.html cabal configure of libraries\base found a working -liconv from one of: /bin/libiconv-2.dll /msys/1.0/bin/msys-libiconv-2.dll /lib/libiconv.a /lib/libiconv.dll.a /lib/libiconv.la The in tree mingw is picking up /lib/libiconv.a but apparently libraries\base\configure doesn't require it to be a shared library.
