note that the above problem was reported by Jean Louis and did
not happen to me -- so I think you're asking for HIS platform, etc.

the stuff below, however, is mine

I don't think so, and in fact :UNICODE does appear in *features*,
and for that matter FRANCAIS (with the extra mark on the C) does
appear in the *CURRENT-LANGUAGE* test.

Even though the truename above did not fail for me.

So maybe you do want my platform and setup...
yes linux, fedora, fc24.x86_64
make check run by user don, not even from cron
Configure and make were done from cron but also as user don.
./configure CC='gcc -m64' --disable-maintainer-mode --with-debug --with-module=rawsock build-dir 

Note that if I run clisp as root then:
[1]> (WITH-OPEN-FILE (COPY (make-stream :INPUT)) (STREAMP COPY))
T

There are some things that are expected to work as root but not as 
other users (rawsock I think has some).  It was not clear to me how you
wanted to test such things.  I don't know why this should or should not
be such a thing.  There are probably legitimate choices made by different
OS versions on things like permission of users to access /dev/pts/9

Break 1 [12]> (truename (make-stream :OUTPUT))
#P"/dev/pts/9"

$ ls -l /dev/pts/9
crw--w----. 1 root tty 136, 9 Dec 10 15:48 /dev/pts/9
