Nano fails to compile on a system that was built with utf-8 from the ground up,
complaining about utf-8 support. 

Reproducible: Always

1. emerge nano

Actual Results:  
checking for wcwidth... yes
checking return type of signal handlers... void
checking for vprintf... yes
checking for _doprnt... no
checking for getopt_long... yes
Using slang as the curses library
checking for use_default_colors in -lslang... no
configure: error:
*** UTF-8 support was requested, but insufficient UTF-8 support was
*** detected in your curses and/or C libraries.  Please verify that your
*** slang was built with UTF-8 support or your curses was built with
*** wide character support, and that your C library was built with wide
*** character support.
