These are some issues with Zlib 1.2.5 that I think need fixing:
* Zlib 1.2.5 segfaults a lot when built with GCC 4.5.0, either while
building, or while a program using it is running (IE: with Firefox). The
solution: add -mstackrealign to CFLAGS (You need to do this on the
configure step, not on the make step), as documented at
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2010-June/067355.html.
* Also, when building a shared libary Perl (using -Duseshrplib) on 64bit
systems, the Compress::Raw::Zlib module fails because of the module
attempting to use the static Zlib, but because it's not compiled with
-fPIC, the build fails. To avoid this, -fPIC should be added to CFLAGS,
along with -mstackrealign.
