zsh for root

[Tatsuo Furukawa <tatsuo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, zsh developers.

I am using HP-UX 10.20.  I want to make "zsh for root".  To do this, I
must make zsh with static link.  But HP-UX's setlocale() depends
/usr/lib/libdld.sl, so I can't.

I think that if zsh doesn't use setlocale(), I can build static linked
zsh.  To do this, I added following to zsh.h:

--- zsh.h.orig  Fri Oct 22 16:36:11 1999
+++ zsh.h       Fri Oct 22 16:36:14 1999

 /* Shared header files */
 /***********************/
 
+#undef LC_ALL
+
 #include "version.h"
 #include "signals.h"
 #include "globals.h"

Finally, I got static linked zsh.

Then, I have a question.  Is my local change is OK?  I am Japanese, so
I set LC_* to ja_JP.SJIS.  But as root, I think that root does'nt have
to set locale.  So, I think this does't cause any problem.

But I know that changing root's shell may cause serious problem.  So I
want to know more information.
