It was just luck that 1.4.3 triggers the failure and 1.4.2 doesn't.
The code in 1.4.3 is legal.  Your library setup seems not to be.

I have a Tiger box and 1.4.3 builds fine.  Even if I add readline, it
still builds fine.  Maybe go to the Apple site and download the latest
build environment?  Aside from that, I'm not sure what to suggest to
you aside from building without your added readline or with
--disable-nls, or maybe with --disable-gnupg-iconv
