Hi there,
I've had a working port of zsh to ZETA (BeOS R6) for quite a while, but
since I'm not (yet) a big user I never managed to publish it. I was
also too lazy to clean up the small C89 fix required (we require
gcc2.95 due to the C++ ABI breackage on later versions).

I didn't try but it should likely compile fine on BeOS R5, at least
with the BONE network stack.

It should also compile without much trouble in Haiku (MIT licenced
rewrite of BeOS). It will probably need some more library check (socket
in -lnetwork) though.

Some tests still break, but most are due to missing features, and at
least they don't crash like they used to.
- BeOS defvs shows all devices as S_IFCHR, including block devices, so
there is no S_IFBLK device in /dev per see.
- BeOS doesn't have /dev/tty (Haiku does though)
- BeOS natively uses UTF-8 everywhere, but has an old glibc, so it
misses some wc*()... I still don't get the point of using ugly stuff
like wchar anyway.
- zpty doesn't load yet for some reason

I'll likely have to port over all the bash_completion stuff I wrote...
