I think this problem occurs when zlib is not already installed
on the system, so the interval version shipped with japhar is used.
As a workaround, you can remove the dependency between libruntime
and zlib by applying the following patch:
diff -u lib/libruntime/Makefile.am.ini lib/libruntime/Makefile.am
--- lib/libruntime/Makefile.am.ini Fri Mar 19 18:15:49 1999
+++ lib/libruntime/Makefile.am Fri Mar 19 18:24:18 1999

EXTRA_DIST= interpfunc.c
-libruntime_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0 $(ZLIB)
+libruntime_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0
if USING_GCC

Then run automake and config.status (as stated in the HACKING file)
Hope that helps,
