This is probably because your cc runs successfully even if a given library
is missing which makes configure think that you have a `dir' library.

If that happens with 3.0.1-test, then compilation of 3.0.0 should also
fail.  Does your system have NIS+?  Do you have HAVE_NIS_PLUS defined in
the zsh-3.0.0 config.h?  In that case, how was zsh-3.0.0 linked?  If the
libraries linked with 3.0.0 is different from 3.0.1, what are the
differences in config.log?

There was no change in configure since 3.0.0.

Anyway, the patch below does not hurt anyone and it should fix this, but
the real problem is probably a missing library which should be linked to
zsh.  You can use nm to find a library which defines nis_list and we may
add a configure test for that library.
