Well, this is just a warning. You may run
rpm -qf /lib/libdb.so.2
and remove the package if you don't need it (but make sure first!)

try 

locate iconv

if this gives you some libiconv library, you can later run

make LIBS=-liconv

Basically, iconv routines are part of glibc, but it seems you have
different configuration. I have got some reports from people that had
the iconv functions in glibc AND in some stand-alone libraries. 
you may want to run

for i in /lib/*.so; do nm  $i | grep iconv && echo $i; done
to find out where the iconv routines are.
