Greetings! The issue here is that the preferred method of using bfd is to absorb the library statically into libgcl.a, and there seems to be no autoconf macros which can discern whether the static lib available requires the libz or not. Maybe a version check.
This method is preferred because upstream binutils does not maintain reliable soname versioning for use by external programs (they explicitly say so), so dynamic linking can fail at runtime without failing at link time. Furthermore, the static lib allows image production both via compiler::link and si::save-system without recourse to source files under o/ for recompilation. Speaking of which we probably need to update the local binutils tree and backport Aurelien's macosx support for bfd_get_relocated_section_contents.
