What does
   locate libiconv.2.dylib
return you? Do you have any other version apart from the one in /usr/lib?
   otool -L /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
probably gives you 7.0.0, right?

My only explanation is that luatex shields some system libraries. I
have this for example ...

> otool -L /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
        /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
current version 5.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 71.0.0)

Maybe, maybe, maybe ... the cross-compiled luatex binary includes
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10[whatever]/usr/lib/ into library search path
with bigger precedence and then luatex sees that library before the
one in /usr/lib when rsync requests it?

Taco - would that be possible? How could one check if that might be the case?
