RE: Zsh 4.0.2 + 64bit Solaris 8 Forte 6.1 compiler

["Andrej Borsenkow" <Andrej.Borsenkow@mow.siemens.ru>]

First, why would you want to compile zsh in 64 bit mode? Does your compiler
support long long in 32 bit mode?

Use (in addition to the above)

DLLDFLAGS=-xarch=v9

The same, give

DLCFLAGS=-KPIC

when configuring or

make DLCFLAGS=-KPIC ...

If you can provide a clean configure test to detect your compiler ...

where this comes from?
