This issue was solved here
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=301355&aid=1633552&group_id=1355
by adding a documentation chapter to clisp's next version:
   http://clisp.podval.org/impnotes/encoding.html#line-term-default

See also:
   http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clhs-newline.html
   http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr13/tr13-9.html

The original problem is best solved by a
   (setq *default-file-encoding* :unix)
in ~/.clisprc.lisp
