	file **/*(D@) | fgrep broken

(You may need to change the grep if you're not using GNU `file`.)

Oh, you want it all in zsh?

	for i in **/*(D@); [[ -f $i || -d $i ]] || echo $i

But I think the pipe to fgrep would be faster.  (Why isn't there a glob
qualifier to chase links?  **/*(@^.,@^/) would appear to be perfect, but
doesn't work.)
