Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:26 leif]:
 > Much more worth is (also) removing the `gmp` directory, which at the
 moment makes up half of the tarball; see #9493.  One should at least add a
 `TODO`, since people apparently tend to not look at other related tickets.

 If you hesitate to patch `configure` to remove / modify the calls of some
 redundant scripts in `src/src/gmp/`, you can delete everything there
 except `install-sh` and `{config,configfsf}.*`.

 We should also configure with `--with-gmp="$SAGE_LOCAL"` (or `--with-gmp-
 prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL"`, haven't tested that yet).

 > If you configure with `--enable-unicode=no` (you could also use
 `--disable-unicode` btw.), you can completely remove the following two
 directories (not just their contents):
 {{{
 src/contrib/encodings/
 src/contrib/unicode/
 }}}

 FWIW, #9493 had a comment on that one must not configure with `--enable-
 unicode` if these directories are deleted (in the ''Special Update/Build
 Instructions'' section).

 Since Sage also ships and builds the Boehm GC, we could most probably
 delete even more.
