[racket-dev] Build failure on OS X

I don't have any *FLAGS variables set in my environment when I run configure or make. But I do have libiconv installed through macports. It was out of date, and I upgraded it, but now I am getting a different message:

gcc -o Racket.framework/Versions/5.1.1.3/Racket  -m32 -pthread -framework CoreFoundation -dynamiclib -all_load  libracket.a libmzgc.a -ldl -lm  -liconv -L/opt/local/lib -lffi   
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
Undefined symbols:

  "_iconv", referenced from:
      _do_convert in libracket.a(string.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

(Note the warning about a different architecture.)

I assume that If I tell it to use the system version of iconv, things will work out. But how do I tell it to ignore the bad version?
