When I try to compile zsh on a new debian potato box (rather striped down
install, which might be my problem... I had to beat openssh into submission 
over some pam headers earlier... :( ) and I get the following:

gcc  -s -rdynamic -o zsh main.o  `cat stamp-modobjs`   -ldl -lnsl -lm  -lc

make: *** [all] Error 1

I've attached config.cache config.h config.log config.modules and
config.status.

I'm going to disappear for the weekend, but I'll respond to any querries
for more info on monday.
