I am having similar problems here.  zsh from CVS built with gcc-2.95.3
works as expected and passes all tests, but when I build with gcc-3.0,
I get the following testsuite failures, which indicate problems with
the module subsystem, IIRC:

This is on a linux-2.4.6-pre4 686 system, with glibcglibc-2.2.2-5mdk.
The system is based on Mandrake 8.0.
