[Freeciv-Dev] ngettext undefined during make (PR#1238)

Version: 1.12.1-devel (CVS)

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato)

On my system with latest CVS, './configure && make' results in the (truncated)
output:

gcc  -g -O2 -Wall  -o civserver  civserver.o ../common/libcivcommon.a
../ai/libcivai.a ./libcivserver.a  ../common/libcivcommon.a ../ai/libcivai.a
./libcivserver.a -lm -lz 
./libcivserver.a(unittools.o): In function `kill_unit':
/home/paul/src/freeciv/freeciv-raw/server/unittools.c:1915: undefined reference
to `ngettext'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I discovered that ngettext is the real name of the PL_ plural macro, recently
added.

I notice that my libintl.h does not declare ngettext.

I'm not sure how to determine the version number of my system's gettext,
but the debian package version is 0.10.35-13.

When doing './configure --with-included-gettext && make' I get:

Making all in po

too many errors, aborting

(is this a different bug?)

Doing './configure --disable-nls && make' compiles and runs fine.
