It seems that you did not read Etc/MACHINES despite the note at the very
beginning of the README. I quote the relevant part:
Linux: If you are using an early minor version of libc 5, then a bug
in the auto-configuration process may cause zsh to think that
your system doesn't support the lstat function. If the
configure process reports that there is no lstat, edit
config.h and change HAVE_LSTAT to 1.
libc-5.2.18 or later does not have this problem.
Perhaps you use libc-5.0.9. It is really time to upgrade now, especially
if you want to use Linux-2.0. I think it is very unlikely that autoconf
will be fixed so if you do not want to upgrade your libc, manually editing
config.h seems to be the only solution. As an alternative you may edit
config.cache and change ac_cv_func_lstat='no' to ac_cv_func_lstat='yes'.
Next time when configure finds this cache in the current directory it will
use the information provided there.
