Tried to test this, but I'm having some difficulty:

  configure: error: can not run ./config.sub

In fact, the config.sub and config.guess are both missing for some
reason.  I don't know why -- could be a result of the new gettext in
Debian unstable, or the files were deleted from the Freeciv server,
or some funky autoconf thing.

If I copy those two files from a different project, ./configure succeeds;
but then make blows up:

ranlib libcivserver.a
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./../common -I./../ai -I../intl    -g -O2 
-Wall -c civserver.c
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `@INTLDEPS@', needed by `civserver'.  Stop.

But for what it's worth, the readline part of the generated
server/Makefile looks good on my system -- it successfully determines
that I need -lreadline but not -lcurses or any other terminal library
(which was true for me last time I was able to build Freeciv).

$ rgrep AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB /usr/share/aclocal/
/usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4:AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB,
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4
imlib-dev: /usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4

So on Debian unstable, it's imlib-dev that has it.  Your mileage may vary.
