Is it possible to build Gambit such that UTF-8 is the default for I/O? Or should it heed the LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL variable?
I had a bug while compiling gerbil code that vyzo traced to disagreement between I/O options used by gambit and gerbil. The workaround was to export GAMBOPT=t8,f8,-8 rather than fight to propagate the proper options to gsc. I would like to build gambit with these options as the default, so I can distribute a version that works out of the box.
