ALT with Shift does not function as META in the console |

Hello,
I'm using emacs 24.3 on the Linux console, and I've noticed that the ALT key
doesn't function as META, if I have to use Shift at the same time, whereas it
works fine under X.
For example, my keyboard has '>' (Greater-than) above '<' (Less-than), so to
move the cursor to the beginning of the buffer I type ALT '<', and this works
fine, but to move to the end of the buffer, I need to type ALT Shift '>', and
this does *not* work. Pressing and releasing ESC, and then typing Shift '>',
does work, of course, but this is not the gesture that my fingers have
memorized.
Would anyone know why there is this difference of behaviour between X and the
console ? And how can I fix this in the console ?
I noticed this when booting a Linux From Scratch system, with no X installed,
but then I tried under Fedora, moved to a console with Ctrl-Alt-2, ran emacs,
and found the same behaviour (with an Emacs 23.3).
