You may be onto something there. Skip, do you have another copy of libz somewhere? Given the link line in your first message either in / usr/local/lib or /Users/skip/local/lib. And if you have, is that a static library (libz.a) instead of a dylib?
As background to my question: the linker on OSX behaves slightly different than the one on most other unix-y systems. It first searches the entire linker path for shared libraries (dylibs) before looking for static libraries. I added a flag to the link flags for the zlib extension a while back that changes the search order into a more traditional one: look in every directory on the linker path for either a dylib or static library. The new flag is -Wl,- search_paths_first.
If skip does indeed have libz somewhere else we'll either have to make a matching update to configure, or roll back my change. If the latter I'll have to tweak the build script for the binary installer for OSX because I want to link that using a static copy of libz for binary compatibility with OSX 10.3.9.
