* doc/install.texi: Document that zsh does not work when configuring gcc.
+It is known that @command{zsh} is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not

Not quite true; if you arrange to do 'emulate sh' and 'NULL_COMMAND=:' in
every invocation of zsh, I believe it will work when configuring gcc. This
is done automatically in autoconf 2.5x.
Nevertheless, you should probably commit this as is; don't bother trying
to explain the subtle points.
