Ok, I here is an updated version. 

As nobody seems to have ideas to solve the problems I mentioned in my
first mail, there seems to be no proper solution. 
  Does that mean that we cannot use the amiga gettext in windows?

An alternative:

I did 
make CC="i386-mingw32-gcc -Uopen -Dopen\(x,y\)=\"_open\(\(x\),O_BINARY
\| \(y\)\)\" -Dgetegid\(\)=1 -Dgetuid\(\)=1 -Dgeteuid\(\)=1
-Dgetgid\(\)=1" 

A quite horrible line but what about adding that thing to CFLAGS somewhere 
(it would be good if only the intl
dir is influenced).

That compiles the intl dir without changes and warnings!
I have not tested yet compiling freeciv completely with it but it
works at least in theory (We have to call get_system_language and set
the env variables accordingly).
