Comment:
The zlib-1.2.3-fPIC-1.patch patch builds the static library with -fPIC.
Some of the advantages of static linking are lost with this. Fedora uses
this patch:[[BR]]
[http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/zlib/zlib-1.2.3-autotools.patch][[BR]]
Fedora's patch builds each object twice, once with -fPIC, and again
without.
The downside is that Fedora's patch becomes 1.3MB after autoreconf is
run.[[BR]]
I suggest we use neither patch and go back to how it was before. The
current patch compiles libz.a incorrectly.
