That header is coming from the libxg-dev package, described as "graphics
libraries from plan 9." That package isn't part of the default install,
but it is available as part of the stable release. You could try a
"dpkg --purge libxg-dev" to get rid of it.
The moron that came up with the idea was Raul Miller <moth@debian.org>.
You should file a Debian bug against the package -- having that
incompatible libc.h in /usr/include just seems broken.
In any case, since the header can appear in stable release Debian
systems, a fix to zsh seems warranted.
