For the archives:

It's been caused by FreeBSD update libiconv-1.14_2 to
libiconv-1.14_3, as mentioned in ticket
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=187894

It has not been caused by the update to xindy 2.5.0 in TL 2014; TL
2013 won't run on current FreeBSDs either.

It seems as if FreeBSD introduced a binary incompatibility, without
increasing the libiconv.so version number.

No comment on that. :-/

A resolution of that problem that covers both old and current
FreeBSD installations is not available (yet?).
