Edward, 

Just to make sure I understand: On Solaris, you disabled libiconv.  tsql
works, but the unit test returns an error?  

I don't expect the Solaris libiconv to work.  I do expect
--disable-libiconv to work, particularly because you found
"configure:18713: libiconv disabled" in config.log.  As a matter of
fact, that --disable option was added specifically for Solaris
configurations.  

tsql is statically linked, and "tsql -C" should show no iconv library.
Maybe, somehow, the unit tests are being run-time linked to another
FreeTDS library.  You could tell with ldd(1) or by looking at the top of
the a TDSDUMP log.  Rather than running the whole "make check", just
(for instance):

        $ cd src/dblib/unittests
        $ TDSDUMP=dump ./t0001
        $ head dump

The log file will show the version of FreeTDS and include a more
detailed message of the cause of the assertion error.  

HTH.
