It means that the ztst.zsh contains #!/usr/bin/zsh or similar, and when
the =E2=80=98patch-shebangs=E2=80=99 phase runs, there=E2=80=99s no =E2=80=
=98zsh=E2=80=99 binary in $PATH, so
the file is left unpatched with its bogus shebang.

That means that attempts to exec ztst.zsh systematically fail.

However, I see that Zsh appears to build fine on x86_64-linux as of
v0.9.0-1121-gaca738f.  What Guix commit are you using?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
