Summary: >=5.9.3 lisp error "out of range"

Initial Comment:
>=sci-mathematics/maxima-5.9.3 with clisp, gcl, sbcl as licp compilers, exit (make check fails) with lisp error:

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:


AREF: index 0 for "" is out of range

If I set LC_ALL to C then maxima works with gcl and sbcl, but switch in debug
mode with clisp:

*** - invalid byte #xD0 in CHARSET:ASCII conversion
The following restarts are available:

Resolved by r1.74 src/init-cl.lisp (treat empty string the same as NIL in
tests on LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and LANG). See also bug report [ 1552253 ]
empty locale environment variables => error at launch. Closing this report
as fixed.

For solve this problem, it is need to read LANG before LC_ALL in file
init-cl.lisp, because LC_ALL is empty. Some localization guides say that
it is important for some applications, to leave LC_ALL empty.
