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 fix this ticket:
 (1) use
 [http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpuydt/ECL_Maxima/ecl-12.12.1.p5.spkg
 this ecl spkg] ([attachment:ecl_p4_to_p5.patch spkg diff]) ;
 (2) apply [attachment:trac_14636_1.patch] and
 [attachment:trac_14636_2.patch] to sagelib (in that order).

 This fix is against sage 5.12.beta3.
