I just manually changed config.h to not define HAVE_KILLPG, cleaned and
recompiled everything, and it all seems to work, except for make check C02
and Y* which were expected not to work anyway.
Oops, actually, that was only on the irix 6.3 machine...on irix 6.5 it turns
out if I compile zsh with the system cc, with or without HAVE_KILLPG, it
fails make check in a big way (segfaults at the drop of a hat on every test,
happens with 4.0.1 too) which I will report in a separate email, as it's a
separate bug. If I allow it to compile with gcc, it completes the checks
that it's supposed to complete, and if I manually turn HAVE_KILLPG off, it
even handles suspension correctly. I'm going to regard this bug as
essentially fixed (modulo incorporating something reflecting this change
into the source) as a result, but will post the other bug shortly.
