Ken,
Thanks for the tip. I re-did the zlib library again, once again applying
the fPIC patch. Using the following statement to configure, and then
"make", I succeeded in creating libz.a (static library) and the
libz.sovariants (shared library).
CC="${CC} ${BUILD}" AR="${AR} rc" ./configure --prefix=/tools --shared
Once again thanks for the information. Should I redefine the AR environment
to always include the "rc" option?
Dave
P.S. In reference to the CLFS book that I am following, there has not been
an instruction to set BUILD (or BUILD32). I knew from a previous attempt at
working with CLFS-Embedded that it needed to be set to "-m32" for my
particular needs.

Not exactly, but I think I've seen something similar on ppc a long
while ago.

Turns out my original problem was in January last year (fixed by
not using a patch before we were in the native build), and last June
I found out the real cause of the problem:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.cross/811
Please read that, then try configuring with whatever else you had
plus AR="${AR} rc". Then we can start to wonder why this problem
has suddenly appeared.
But, maybe you have applied the zlib -fPIC patch in chapter 6? If
so, please try again without it (that patch is for the final system).
