zsh-newuser-install has been looking for $ZDOTDIR before $HOME
since 2005 at least.
Chances are the global zshenv file isn't called /etc/zshenv in your
build. Check that . «strings =zsh | grep zshenv» or «strace -e file zsh
-fc : 2>&1 | grep zshenv» should find it.
Setting $ZDOTDIR in the global zprofile or zshrc isn't expected to work
as these are sourced _after_ zsh-newuser-install is run. [Citation:
