Is it my imagination or is this totally bogus?  It's stored in
config.status so that it can be passed to configure again and it's
parsed by configure itself and stored in a variable.  And that seems to
be it.

So, what's the answer:
 (a) Hit me with a LART for being cluelessly wrong;
 (b) Remove it from configure;
 (c) Someone with plenty of aspirin modify configure so that
     --program-suffix=-beta works as expected.
?

Thanks.

It's autogenerated by autoconf.  Arguably this is a bug in autoconf, for
zsh's configure.in doesn't call the macro that makes it useful.

It's trivial to enable it, though:

Ah, sorry.  This only handles --target if AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM is called
elsewhere, and zsh's configure.in uses AC_CANONICAL_HOST instead.  Oh,
well ... it really does handle program_prefix and program_suffix ....
