Peter, thanks for the reply.
The file builtin.epro looks fine:
===========
/* Generated automatically */
#ifndef have_Src_builtin_globals
#define have_Src_builtin_globals
extern mod_import_variable HashTable builtintab;
extern void createbuiltintable _((void));

I tried to google 'unterminated argument list invoking macro "_" '
and many forums suggest it due to compiler outdated. So I checked
gcc --version and it was 4.0.1. I also happened to have 4.2.1 so I
reset the symlinks and made it active. Then performed "make
distclean"; configure; make, and got similar but not the same error:
========

=========
All this while I had already initiated svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/
gcc/tags/gcc_4_5_1_release gcc-4.5.1 to get the latest gcc. It just
finished, but man that's a whole 1.1GB for gcc??? I am seriously
deterred to compile that beast to get zsh updated while everything
else seems to be fine! If this error is fixable by any other means I
would like to try that first.
Thanks

The problem is occuring when using the macro:
#ifdef PROTOTYPES
# define _(Args) Args
#else
# define _(Args) ()
#endif
(defined in system.h) which should convert things like
extern int bin_umask _((char*nam,char**args,Options ops,UNUSED(int
func)));
into
extern int bin_umask (char*nam,char**args,Options ops,UNUSED(int
func));
However, the error doesn't give much clue as to why it's going wrong
here. Are there obvious errors within builtin.epro (that might be
caused by awk or sed going haywire)? You can mail it as an
attachment
if it's not obvious. If it is wrong builtin.syms might be the
interesting one. Also check what "AWK = " is set to in the generated
Makemod in the same (Src) directory.
