Two observations with pre3 and NEXTSTEP:

1.) NEXTSTEP defines a strcoll() in <ansi/string.h>, but this is  
definitely something else:

  extern size_t strcoll(char *to, size_t maxsize, const char *from);

The effect is that configure #defines HAVE_STRCOLL, but compilation  
fails. You have to manually #undef HAVE_STRCOLL. Is there any way  
to care for this automatically ?


2.) Not an pre3 issue, not even a zsh specific: autoconf-2.10 and  
below fails to detect NEXTSTEP 3.x running on HP-PA machines, and  
configure crashes. I've reported this to bug-gnu-utils, but didn't  
get any reaction yet. The following is an quick (dirty?) fix for  
this:

Change line 151 in config.sub from

	      | hppa1.0-* | hppa1.1-* | alpha-* | ...
to
	      | hppa-* | hppa1.0-* | hppa1.1-* | alpha-* | ...
