Thankyou for a swift reply, Peter. However:

it didn't work...

tower:~t/zsh-3.0.0 >  ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
configuring for zsh 3.0.0
checking host system type... mips-sgi-irix5.3
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether we are using GNU C... no
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E
checking for working const... yes
checking whether cross-compiling... yes
checking for cc option to accept ANSI C... 
checking for function prototypes... yes
checking size of long... configure: error: can not run test program
while cross compiling

So, any more ideas? This is really bizarre.
