test suite failure when testing statically linked build

test suite failure when testing statically linked build

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

if I enable the test-suite in the Debian package of zsh 5.0.2 after
the statically linked variant has been built, I get the following test
suite failure:

DH_VERBOSE=1 HOME="/home/abe/zsh/zsh/obj/testhome" dh_auto_test -B obj-static --parallel
        cd obj-static
        make -j2 test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/abe/zsh/zsh/obj-static'
cd Test ; make check
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/abe/zsh/zsh/obj-static/Test'
if test -n ""; then \
          cd .. && DESTDIR= \
          make MODDIR=`pwd`/Test/Modules install.modules > /dev/null; \
        fi
if ZTST_testlist="`for f in ../../Test/*.ztst; \
           do echo $f; done`" \
         ZTST_srcdir="../../Test" \
         ZTST_exe=../Src/zsh \
         ../Src/zsh +Z -f ../../Test/runtests.zsh; then \
         stat=0; \
        else \
         stat=1; \
        fi; \
        sleep 1; \
        rm -rf Modules .zcompdump; \
        exit $stat

    [[ -r zerolength && -r unmodish ]]
  elif [[ $OSTYPE = cygwin ]]; then
    print -u$ZTST_fd 'Warning: Not testing [[ ! -r file ]]

   [[ -r zerolength ]]
  else

  fi

Hmmm... it's certainly true that compiling with --disable-dynamic
doesn't get much love and attention, but, when I did it here, the test
suite skipped a few test for things that weren't compiled in but didn't
fail on anything.  There may be some other subtle effect I'm not seeing.

(I can see a few things that probably ought to be linked by default in
this case, such as the regex library since that's used as part of the
shell syntax, but I deliberately kept with the defaults so that isn't
the problem here.)
