New description:
ecl 12.2.1 has unicode support enabled by default, what creates two string
types, t_base_string and t_string. The problem is that sage does not
properly handle those, as described in
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3526370&group_id=30035&atid=398053
see also https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/issues/2
AFAIK it can be built with unicode disabled, just that it will fail make
check at least.

Comment:
I have put the patch in a better shape and checked it applied correctly on
a recent 5.2beta0. I'd very much like this to go in 5.2. It doesn't really
benefit sage at the present time but makes the works from people like me
and Paulo on getting sage to run natively on linux distros much easier. I
am doing a few tests and then I'll give it the thumbs up.
