I'm using CLFS x86_64-Pure64. Adding AR="${AR} rc" fixed the error, but
then a new one appeared. It tried to install headers into /usr/local.
I found that the LFS book mentions that zlib doesn't build properly if
CFLAGS is set. Definitely true. It compiles properly if CFLAGS is
unset or if -fPIC is added to CFLAGS. This comment should probably be
added to CLFS.
The headers problem was caused by experimenting with config.site. I
found that this package apparently ignores it and tries to install
into /usr/local, so --prefix cannot be omitted.
Thanks. Both your response and Joe Ciccone's helped me fix this.
