patch-ab uses -fPIC instead of -fpic for generating relocatable code.
-fpic will not work for some architectures.  See the documentation
for gcc.

Actually, that patch is only a couple of weeks old (since zsh was
updated to 4.0.1 -- the older zsh-3.0.8 didn't use dynamically
loadable modules).  zsh-3.0.8 has been relocated to pkgsrc/shells/zsh3
for the moment.
