On my Solaris systems (Solaris 8 for i86 and Sparc), configure finds
/usr/local/lib/libz.a and /usr/local/include/whatever, but
mod_deflate.so won't load because of an unresolved reference to
deflateInit2_.

I would guess that the problem is that mod_deflate.so wasn't
statically linked with this libz.a, but I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET.
Perhaps Solaris ld discarded the libz stuff because it wasn't used by
httpd.
(I hit the same problem on AIX but [erroneously] guessed at the time
that only AIX would need libz.a statically linked with mod_deflate.so
instead of statically linked with httpd.)
How do other folks deal with this? Always use a shared object libz?
Statically linking it with mod_deflate.so seems less error-prone
(assuming the build is correct), particularly if you want to run a
build on multiple machines.
