Try compiling normally and "export LANG=en_US", and see if it runs.

If that works is probably a libc6 2.2 issue. I had some trouble with that as 
well. My problem was that libc6 doesn't handle upper ascii characters when 
LANG was set to "C". It is possible that your problem is that the freeciv 
locale "it" is not recognized either (the official one is probably something 
like it_IT).
There must be someone on this mailing list who is more qualified than me at 
solving this one :).
