running pyenv install 3.6.1 -v shows (among normal ./configure output) this warning:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-unicode
is this something that pyenv should address?
the Misc/HISTORY for cpython contains this entry in the notes for an early 3.0 version:
- Renamed --enable-unicode configure flag to --with-wide-unicode,
since Unicode strings can't be disabled anymore.
Since Python 3.3, no options is needed.
Thanks to Flexible Unicode Representation, no "wide" and "narrow" build.
This is adding the option as a configure options. It'd be better to skip it based on the building version....

Just prepared a workaround. Though actually I've not yet tested it throughly.... Please try #978 if there's someone whom interested in this topic.
