Yes.

cd /some/path/zsh-4.0.1
patch -p0 configure.in < patch.file

2.14.1 never existed; there are 2.13 or 2.50; anything in between is
development version that was never officially released. You can just use
2.13 after patching configure.in.

Oliver, is it possible to compile zsh with gcc on AIX? I understand,
currently it is assumed that we use native compiler. Or does gcc support
the same options as native compiler?

Have you removed config.cache after creating new configure? AIX should not
build libzsh.so; it is hardcoded and does not depend on compiler.

Please

- make clean source tree
- apply the patch and run autoconf-2.13 as above;
- run configure; make
- send config.log, config.h, config.cache and conifg.modules.

Probably, typescript of make does not harm. You may send them directly to
me so as to not clutter list.
