zsh-3.1.6-dev-22 broken several ways on AIX

zsh-3.1.6-dev-22 broken several ways on AIX

[The Corridor]

Several problems show up in this snapshot:

1) -disable-dynamic no longer works, modules always seem to be enabled.

2) the GETGPRGP macro should resolve to getpgrp(), not getpgrp(0).

Suggestions about how to fix #1?

You didn't have this problem with -dev-21 ?  There haven't been any
interesting changes to the build process in a very long time, except
maybe my patch in 10499, but that shouldn't affect AIX specially.

Are you using the FTP snapshots, or the SourceForge CVS repository?  If
the latter, did you remember to run Util/preconfig before making?

Did you start from scratch or were you compiling in a directory where an
earlier version had been built before?

That configure test hasn't changed in a *very* long time.  When was the
last snapshot you built successfully?

Are you sure they are enabled. zmodload tries to behave consistently so with dynamic modules disabled, zmodload will still list the available modules. Try zmodload zsh/stat - it should fail, then try zmodload zsh/sched and it should succeed.

I actually think that zsh should automatically load any modules which are compiled in such as sched.

I hadn't tried building a static zsh on AIX (3.2.5) for a long time but it still seems to work. In what way is your static zsh broken (or failing to build)?

I think this should be handled by one of (decreasing order of preference):

(1) enabled by a configure option, or
(2) enabled somehow through mymods.conf, or
(3) enabled by a change to the .mdd file.

I looked at (3) back when the other zmodload changes went in, but didn't
make any progress.

Best I can tell this occurs in -dev-21 and -dev-22. -dev-20 seemed to work,
as best I can recall.

FTP'ed snapshot.

Starting from a clean untar into the directory.

I know. I've been hand-munging this and the "#pragma alloca" statement
in system.h for quite a while. To support alloca requires the '-ma' option
at compile time. The "#pragma alloca" generates a warning for every source
file compiled.

If it would help I can untar the source in a fresh directory and send you
a log of each step. Maybe that might surface the problem.
