Compile of Zsh 4.0.1 on NetBSD/sparc64 fails..

G'day,

I can't get zsh 4.0.1 (or 3.1.9) to compile, or more
specifically, link.  Sorry for the long lines:

Log at http://www.physics.purdue.edu/~will/zsh-4.0.1.log ...

Incidentally, there are two patches in the NetBSD
pkgsrc/shells/zsh package which apparently solve this problem.
See:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/shells/zsh/patches/patch-aa
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/shells/zsh/patches/patch-ab

Apparently both patches have been in that tree for ~4 years.  Does
anyone feel like merging them into mainstream zsh to get rid of them?

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.

      If supported for the target machine, emit position-independent
      code, suitable for dynamic linking and avoiding any limit on the
      size of the global offset table.  This option makes a difference
      on the m68k, m88k, and the Sparc.


Assuming, that there is no run-time penalty (slower access or like) on 
other architectures, it makes sense.
