TortoiseSVN removed support for building the ASM versions in 2013 as a result of the above thread. The Subversion build templates also removing the support for building the ASM code as of r1560864. The code itself was removed from zlib develop branch on Oct 13th 2017, however no new release has been made since. I have added a warning in INSTALL, see r1894491. Thanks to everyone for the valuable input! Kind regards Daniel
