That's a bug in those packages, in my mind.
*NOTHING* should ever link against a static zlib IMO. Otherwise you have
a rehash of the problems back in ... what was it, 2002 or so I think? ...
when zlib had a buffer overflow fixed, and everything on the planet needed
to be relinked.
Not using the shared lib is a Bad Idea; I'd probably support removing
libz.a from the system completely after zlib is installed. Certainly
binutils shouldn't be using it, but putting the .so.x.y.z file and .so.x
link into /lib (and the .so link in /usr/lib) will allow both it and
module-init-tools (if needed) to dynamically link libz and continue to
work.
