It says:

system vimrc file: "/usr/share/vim/vim60z/macros/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/share/vim"
Compilation: gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -
D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall
Linking: gcc -L/usr/local/lib -o vim -ltermcap -ldl
so RH 7.1 simply didn't include vim UTF-8 support at compile time. :-(
