Actually, that's a workaround and not a fix.  From what I remember from
the autoconf list, zsh does this if CDPATH is set to ':'.
That's why autoconf tries to unset CDPATH, and only sets it to ':' if
that fails.

bash-2.04$ pwd
/home/tim
bash-2.04$ mkdir foo
bash-2.04$ zsh
bender% echo $CDPATH

bender% cd foo
bender% cd ..
bender% export CDPATH=nothing
bender% echo $CDPATH
nothing
bender% cd foo
bender% cd ..
bender% export CDPATH=:
bender% echo $CDPATH
:
bender% cd foo
~/foo
bender% cd ..
bender% exit
bash-2.04$
