I have often done:
export CC=i386-mingw32-gcc
[..]
./configure
make

And afterwards (in another xterm) test, if I break something (compile
linux version)
make distclean
./configure 
make 

And libintl.h is still threre and causes errors.

What about

Or should we change freeciv/Makefile.am to avoid touching the intl
dir?? (add rm intl/libintl.h)
