zsh not executable as non-root.

[ianmacd]

Thanks for compiling this. I've tried before, but always ran into ncurses issues and couldn't get ncurses to compile properly for ARM, due to too many dependencies.

I don't think this is covered by the warning that zsh won't work for the system user.

On my S10+:

I'm not sure what's going on with the permissions of zsh here. Possibly SELinux interference. I can't even list the binary under /system/xbin.

Confirmed on my op5t too. Tried changing group to shell but didn't change anything. @ianmacd you can compile ncurses for arm with my gnu tools build script

@partcyborg I took at stab at it and got to it work but not ideal - it still doesn't detect /system/etc/.zshrc among other things but it at least runs. Attached my build script for you - it builds a bunch of dependencies too build.zip

Have a working build script up here: https://github.com/Zackptg5/Zsh-For-Android-Build-Script
