Sure, just grab zsh.git and create two copies of it, and do

cd zsh
autoheader
autoconf-2.61a
./configure
make

Now in second copy do,

cd zsh2
autoheader
autoconf-gitversion
./configure
make

now if you compare zsh & zsh2 you will see that zsh directory have bunch of 
shared objects in Src/Modules where as zsh2 have none.

I hope this is clear enough.

Thanks,
