Of course there's an old libz.a there. And it should not matter as
we're given the --with-zlib arguments to point the build elsewhere
for those libraries. And as seen in the report, it is following those
pointers. It's just not using them correctly regarding being told to
link against libz.a, not libz.so, with the 'zlib' parameter to config.

No, this appears to be to be a ./config build parameter setup
error. Why should user's break their perfectly sound systems
in order to work around a bug? If users wanted it to link dynamically
against libz, they would have specified 'zlib-dynamic' to ./config.
