This is Linux.	We know we have working terminals here; configure doesn't need
to test for them.

I wonder why it fails (zsh-4.2.1 compiles fine on my machine),
but I added --with-tcsetpgrp to zsh-4.2.1.ebuild as you wasn't
able to compile it without the flag. Thanks for the bug report.

P.S.
You don't need to revision bump when you fix only compile time
problem. See "Versioning and revision bumps" in
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap3

I just realized I forgot to explicitly note that this now works for me.  Thanks.

Now I have more, and even odder, fun with zsh-4.2.[34].  As I've been having far too much fun lately, I'm thinking I'll get my dev box up next weekend, and see if I can reproduce there before submitting a bug.
