Comment(by daniel.is.fischer):
What's the problem with adding '-optl-lz' to the command line of the
pertinent tests or to EXTRA_HC_OPTS? Is it that the linker would/could
pick the symbols from libz even when libbfd defines them too, and that
would break things?
So we'd need to determine whether libbfd depends on libz, and if it does,
pass -lz. I assume testing whether
{{{
ldd `locate libbfd | grep so` | grep libz
}}}
returns a nonempty string is too naive/nonportable?
