I retract this review for now. The issue turned out to be not so simple
as this. We *are* able to build with older versions of zlib. The
dependency for inflateValidate arises from the bundled libpng; a system
libpng does not necessary have that issue.

If we're using the system zlib instead of the bundled zlib, we should
verify that it includes all relevant functions. We now rely on the
inflateValidate() function, which was introduced in zlib 1.2.9 which
is very recent. This patch adds a test to the system zlib to verify
this and to fail fast in case it's too old.
