 Controlling what is compiled into the main zsh binary
 -----------------------------------------------------
 
-By default the comp1, compctl, zle, sched and rlimits modules are compiled
-into non-dynamic zsh and no modules are compiled into the main binary if
-dynamic loading is available.  This can be overridden by creating the file
-mymods.conf in the compilation directory (Src, unless you have told

-list of available modules.
+By default the comp1, compctl, zle, complist, sched and rlimits modules are
+compiled into non-dynamic zsh and no modules are compiled into the main
+binary if dynamic loading is available.  This can be overridden by creating
+the file mymods.conf in the compilation directory (Src, unless you have
+told configure to use another directory) with the list of modules which are
+to be compiled into the main binary, one module name per line with no

+On systems which do not allow symbols in one dynamically loaded library to
+be visible from another, comp1 will be compiled in to the base executable
+when dynamic loading is used to provide a link between the compctl and zle
+modules.  However, the modules depending on zle (complist and deltochar)
+cannot be loaded dynamically on such systems; this is true, for example, of
+version 4 of SunOS.  The most convenient workaround is to compile zle into
+the base executable by including it (as well as comp1) in mymods.conf as
+described above.
