I applied the sound configure.in fix, and then this patch.  The output was:

[jdorje@users freeciv]$ ./autogen.sh && make
+ checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... found 2.52, ok.
+ checking for automake >= 1.4 ... found 1.4-p5, ok.
+ checking for xgettext >= 0.10.38 ... found 0.10.38, ok.
+ checking for msgfmt >= 0.10.38 ... found 0.10.38, ok.
+ creating acinclude.m4
+ running aclocal ...
+ running autoheader ...
autoheader: No template for symbol `ESD'
autoheader: No template for symbol `SDL'

autoheader failed


which makes me think that configure.ac doesn't have sound support.
