I figured that something may be wrong with my repository, so I checked out another clean copy and did

./gitsub.sh pull && ./autogen.sh

and got

...
./autogen.sh: done.  Now you can run './configure'.

so thanks and all is well.

The HACKING file does not tell you to run 'autoreconf -i -I m4'. It tells you to run './autogen.sh'.

Thanks for swift reply.

No, the commit done yesterday didn't fix the issue. The macro 'AM_LANGINFO_CODESET' is obviously there but the script fails.

My Ubuntu system is all only official packages except for the automake 1.16.2 package.

By the way, on systems with glibc (this includes Ubuntu on WSL), you don't need GNU libiconv, because the iconv facility is already contained in glibc.

System: WSL Ubuntu 18.04 (with added automake 1.16.2)

After checking out from git:
---------------------------------------------------------
./autogen.sh
...
cd libcharset && make -f Makefile.devel all
make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/f/src/lib/unix/fix/iconv/libiconv/libcharset'
test -d autoconf || mkdir autoconf
aclocal-1.16 -I m4 --output=autoconf/aclocal.m4 && rm -rf autom4te.cache
configure.ac:56: warning: macro 'AM_LANGINFO_CODESET' not found in library
autoconf-2.69 --include autoconf && rm -rf autom4te.cache
configure.ac:56: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_LANGINFO_CODESET
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
Makefile.devel:21: recipe for target 'configure' failed
make[1]: * [configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/f/src/lib/unix/fix/iconv/libiconv/libcharset'
