This option is causing issues with python unicode support. Several unicode
related regression tests are currently failing (test_re and test_codecs for
example) and removing this option fixes these.
This configure option mostly seems to be historical. Discussion related to
python issue 9210 (https://bugs.python.org/issue9210) indicates its original
goal was to save memory and that the option should have been deprecated ages
ago.
