Actually errnos are defined in /usr/include/errno.h . Linux happens to
#include a maze of twisty headers, each defining some errors along the
way.  The zsh configure script looks like it starts at errno.h and
tries find the included header with the most defines in it.  Maybe it
should just build a list of candidate files and pass them all to
errnames1.
