Sage uses ecl-11.1.2, that defaults to --enable-unicode=no, and fedora has ecl-12.2.1 (actually, fedora 16 has ecl-11.1.1 that should just work, but I am building rawhide packages, as goal is to have sagemath for fedora 18...)... So, attempting a test ecl build with --enable-unicode=no fails in make check, like this: Condition of type: SIMPLE-ERROR Unknown or unsupported external format: UTF-8 No restarts available. I will try to debug the conditions that lead to either to see if I can make it agree on features of the string object.
