My first thought in this regard is that the freeciv configure.in
contains a lot of weird stuff pertaining to gettext.  It might be a
good idea to try disabling some of that stuff, in particular that
which is only cosmetic or now obsolete (like the patch to force -w 0
on all msgmerge calls; this is a workaround for a bug that was fixed
in .36)

Um, to tell you what the value of the autoconf test was?  It's just
that this test returns a string rather than yes/no.
