New submission from John Malmberg:
If the zlib.so fails to build while building python, subsequent runs of
setup.py fail, which prevents a trying again to build zlib.so after the issue
is fixed unless all the .so modules built are deleted.
File "/PRJ_ROOT/CPYTHON/Lib/zipfile.py", line 20, in <module>
crc32 = zlib.crc32
AttributeError: module 'zlib' has no attribute 'crc32'
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1
zipfile.py is trying to test for a missing zlib.so by checking if the import
fails.
The problem is that while the zlib module did not get built, the import of it
succeeds because the directory is now in the module path at this
point in the build.
Using -v on Python shows the import succeeding.

>>> import zlib
# possible namespace for /PRJ_ROOT/CPYTHON/Modules/zlib
import 'zlib' # None.
In order to get setup.py to work in this case, the following patch is
needed for zipfile.py

This is not a complete solution for zlib.so module not building. The
run_tests.py also fails when zlib.so is not present.
Setup.py reports that zlib.so is an optional module, so not being build should
not cause the setup.py to fail.
