-Linux: Linux (i386) [3.1.4]
 	If you are using an early minor version of libc 5, then a bug
 	in the auto-configuration process may cause zsh to think that
 	your system doesn't support the lstat function.  If the configure
 	process reports that there is no lstat, edit config.h and change
 	HAVE_LSTAT to 1.  libc-5.2.18 or later does not have this problem.
 
+	Various problems have been reported when using optimisation
+	with the experimental GNU compiler, egcs.  In particular,
+	on Linux Alpha with egcs 1.0.3a and 1.1.1 using -O1 or greater,
+	the completion code is not correctly compiled.
+
+	Some versions of glibc2 have a conflict with <asm/resource.h>
+	which causes a redefinition warning on RLIM_INFINITY.  This
+	causes configure to decide that <sys/resource.h> is not present,
+	which can cause compilation errors in zsh's rlimit code.  The
+	best solution is to edit config.h after running configure and
+	#define HAS_SYS_RESOURCE_H.
