Firstly, what version of the mingw compiler are you using?

This to me seems a big silly. From the error message I infer
that the iconv function provided by mingw expects the argument
to have type 'const char **' but the argument passed is of type
'char **'. However, it was my understanding that the C standard
specified that conversions from 'char **' to 'const char **'
should be allowed without warning.

If you're interested in pursuing this please try changing line
175 of src/share/utf8/iconvert.c from:

    k = iconv(cd2, 0, 0, &ob, &obl);

to:

    k = iconv(cd2, 0, 0, (const char**) &ob, &obl);

and seeing if there is a warning with the replacement.

Cheers,
Erik
