Does /bin/sh exist?  Retarded question, I know.. but some systems it only
exists in /usr/bin/sh or some stupidness.

Try running the configure script through sh as follows:

[habauer@smack freeciv-1.9.0]$ which sh
/bin/sh
[habauer@smack freeciv-1.9.0]$ /bin/sh ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
[...]

If that doesn't work, try "bash" instead of "sh".
