history probs, build probs

["Denis Lagno" <dlagno@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I use zsh-4.0.6 on NetBSD-current.
I repeatedly (probably monthly or bimonthly) observe partial
losing of history.  I lose last events, not oldest.  
History file got truncated at a sector boundary.
Of course it can be FFS softdeps related issue,
but I lose no other things.

My history related settings are:

export HISTSIZE=500000
export HISTFILE=~/.zhistory
export SAVEHIST=500000
setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS
setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY

FWIW ~/.zhistory is symlink to other location.
Maybe symlink triggers some race condition saving history??

So I decided to build zsh-current checked out from cvs repository.
I have problems building it, both with GNU make or BSD make:

$ ./Util/preconfig
cd . && ./.preconfig

$ ./configure
