Summary: Built-in compile function with PEP 0263 encoding bug

Initial Comment:
a = 'print "Hello, World"'
u = '# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n' + a

print compile(a, '<string>', 'exec') # ok
print compile(u, '<string>', 'exec') # ok
print compile(unicode(a), '<string>', 'exec') # ok
print compile(unicode(u), '<string>', 'exec') # error

# The last line gives a SystemError.
# Think this is a bug.
