Hi,

JFYI: zsh upstream suspects fakeroot as reason for the endless loops
during zsh's configure run on Debian GNU/Hurd.

checking if named FIFOs work... debian/rules:89: recipe for target
'configure-static-stamp' failed

This is running mkfifo() or mknod() from a compiled C snippet, followed
by attempting to open() the FIFO.

}     I'd expect that this is an autoconf bug and no zsh-specific issue.

Looks like a problem with the environment created by /usr/bin/fakeroot
rather than with autoconf or zsh.

JFTR: Build fine on all(*) Debian build daemons where the build
already started:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=zsh&suite=experimental

(Includes the cherry-picked test suite fixes Bart and me posted to the
list after the 5.0.8-test-3 release: 51f5898d and caaed169)

(*) Except on GNU Hurd where the configure script (!) seems to hang
    forever for quite some builds now (including 5.0.8 where it built
    successfully in the past):
    https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=zsh&arch=hurd-i386
    
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=zsh&arch=hurd-i386&ver=5.0.8-test-3-1&stamp=1440751714
    I'd expect that this is an autoconf bug and no zsh-specific issue.

                Kind regards, Axel
