There's your previous potential patch here:

http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers//2012/msg00708.html

It may not apply cleanly any longer.

The discussion following that patch seemed to indicate that prctl() also
did not hide the command line in all cases.

Maybe the right thing is to use all possible such mechanisms at the same
time, rather than attempt to choose just one at configure time.
