I'm using a GenToo ebuild which amounts to
	econf \
		--bindir=/bin \
		--libdir=/usr/$(get_libdir) \
		--enable-etcdir=/etc/zsh \
		--enable-zshenv=/etc/zsh/zshenv \
		--enable-zlogin=/etc/zsh/zlogin \
		--enable-zlogout=/etc/zsh/zlogout \
		--enable-zprofile=/etc/zsh/zprofile \
		--enable-zshrc=/etc/zsh/zshrc \
		--enable-fndir=/usr/share/zsh/${PV%_*}/functions \
		--enable-site-fndir=/usr/share/zsh/site-functions \
		--enable-function-subdirs \
		--enable-ldflags="${LDFLAGS}" \
		--with-tcsetpgrp \
		--with-curses-terminfo \
		--with-maildir-support \
		--with-pcre \
		--with-cap \
		--with-multibyte

The final link links the library -lncurses and fails because external
references ( I don't remember the 4 names ? add_wch) couldn't be
resolved. Linking to -lncursesw -ldl, instead, was successful.
For the moment I've stepped back to not using --with-multibyte .

Many thanks,
Helmut.
