You should most definitely *NOT* try to edit the files in /usr/include,
even if you do have root permissions.  These files contain intimate
details about a system's kernel and libraries; changing the values will
result in broken programs.

What you should try to do instead is edit the Freeciv source code so that
the modules which need the symbols (CLOCKS_PER_SEC) from these include
files actually do #include them.  You will probably have to do some
digging, though, to determine exactly which files should be #include'd
in which modules.  (This is just a workaround for what's actually a
lack of support for your platform in the source code.  If this "bug"
can be reliably duplicated, then it can probably be fixed by someone
who knows autoconf/automake much better than I do. :-/)
