core dump on OSF1

[Tanaka Akira]

On OSF1, zsh dumps core as follows.

Z:akr@tru64% uname -a
OSF1 tru64.m17n.org V4.0 1091 alpha
Z:akr@tru64% ./configure --prefix=/home/akr/zsh/tru64

Note that the following debugging configuration prevents core dump.

DLLD=gcc LDFLAGS="-g -rpath ..." ./configure --prefix="$prefix" --enable-zsh-debug

See the file Etc/MACHINES:

        On Digital UNIX 4.0, compilation with gcc and with --enable-dynamic
        apparently needs configuring with explicit flags when compiling
        with debugging enabled:
          DLLD=gcc LDFLAGS='-g -rpath <path-to-.so-files>' ./configure ...
