New description:
My debian/sage experiments have uncovered that sage's ecl package was
compiled with a few tweaks:
(1) it is compiled with unicode disabled ; this is to avoid errors, like
those which can be read about in [https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-
gentoo/issues/2 this gentoo report]. But that doesn't look like a real
solution!
(2) SIGCHLD is disabled by directly patching the sources
(`patches/disable_sigchdl_handler.patch`)
(3) threading is disabled ; I'll open another ticket for that, so let's
that aside for now (and for this ticket)
'''To review''' a fix for (1) and (2), which will be enough to close this
ticket and #12985:
1. use [http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpuydt/ecl-12.12.1.p4.spkg]
(the patch against p3 is attached too as ecl-12.12.1.p4.patch)
2. apply [attachment:trac_14636_1.patch] and
[attachment:trac_14636_2.patch] to sagelib
3. compile and doctest.
