The MacPorts libiconv in /opt/local/lib has symbols like _libiconv_open, the same library in /usr/lib has _iconv_open. It's hard to remove libiconv from MacPorts, as on that system, 62 ports depend on it.

It is known that macports interferes with the VLC build process. Instead of fiddling around with the opt directory (and breaking the macports installation), the best way is to just rule out macports from your environment: https://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile#3rd_party_packagers_and_PATH

You are using a prebuilt contrib which was last updated more that one and a half years ago. So its absolutely no wonder that your mentioned commit is not integrated here. Please use the x86_64-apple-darwin10 contrib which is updated regulary.

With best regards,
