As long as they're linked via a loadable module there shouldn't be any problem. } My suggestion is to add a few options to the sysread and syswrite } builtins that come stock with ZSH in the system module: If this is a change that means these options would not work when a particular GNU library is not available, then it would be better to add them a different way so that it's possible to test beforehand whether they are available. I don't think the module "features" mechanism has granularity below the level of a new builtin (i.e., I don't think you can use features to test for individual options). In any case, if you have a suggested patch or new module, send it to this list.
