Yes, this has been reported before, but we don't yet have 
a good fix.  (Except the work-arounds mentioned in INSTALL 
in freeciv-1.10.0.)  We really need someone who has a system
where this happens who also knows enough about autoconf etc
to work out a solution...  :-/   (Or a close collaboration 
between someone with such a system and someone who knows 
autoconf...)

Its curious that the client works, since the configuration
stuff (at least for gettext) is basically the same for both
the server and client.  Could you perhaps send copies of
server/Makefile and client/Makefile produced by configure?
