I bet it's the problem with readline < 4.2 described in INSTALL
documentation file:

6. Readline Support:
====================
...
You need readline version >= 4.2.
...
It is possible to make freeciv work with versions of readline earlier
than 4.2 (but not with 4.2). To do this replace
"rl_filename_completion_function" with "filename_completion_function" and
"rl_completion_matches" with "completion_matches" in configure.in and
server/stdinhand.c, and remove the const modifier from the first arg of
server/stdinhand.c:freeciv_completion(). Then run autoconf and rebuild.

Have a nice day.
