@thecoop, adding -fPIC, while nice for testing whether it is a valid bug, is not a good fix. The proper way is to patch the Makefile so that only the shared libraries get built with -fPIC. If the binaries are made with -fPIC, then everything will be much slower. /me goes off to figure out how to patch the Makefile.
Ay, I know. I was just checking it was a standard fPIC issue.
Yeah compiling libpcre with -fPIC fixes it. I tried compiling zsh with -fPIC (as the original report says "Doesn't compile with -fPIC" -- Figured I'd clear that up.
submitted Makefile patch

This bug is caused by the zsh ebuild, not by libpcre, so bug #182652 is invalid and this is not a duplicate of it. Simply commenting out the following line in the ebuild fixes compilation on amd64: sed -i -e "/LIBS/s%-lpcre%/usr/$(get_libdir)/libpcre.a%" Makefile I'm not sure what exactly that line was supposed to fix, but I suppose the developer's intention was to avoid users using zsh as the default shell not being able to login after a libpcre update that breaks the ABI.
I can confirm Andrei's statement. This bug is NOT resolved

Reopen wrt Bug 182652 Comment #7
usata: any comments? any known breakage when zsh is compiled with -lpcre? the sed in the ebuild doesn't make much sense imho and just leads to zsh failing to compile with libpcre-7

So, if your disk is broken and /usr doesn't mount, you'd still be able to use zsh, but tab completion and things like that wouldn't work. Personally, I'm in favor of letting zsh live in /usr/bin and letting it dynamically link against whatever it pleases. Leave other shells to fulfill the minimalistic works-in-an-emergency role.
I can confirm this with zsh 4.3.4 and libpcre 7.4. My preference is opposite wyvern5@gmail.com's -- I would like to see zsh continue to be in /bin and usable as an emergency shell.
Why isn't this incorporated into the exsisting "static" use flag?

*** Bug 196947 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
OK. I've removed the sed line. This means that people with USE="pcre -static" that have zsh as a login shell might have some issues if /usr doesn't mount, but if anyone is that worried about it, they can USE=static.
