Probably I know the problem! The configure should set:
HAVE_ZLIB_H

in src/include/config.h

Maybe this wasn't successful? The flate.c has a test:
#ifndef HAVE_ZLIB_H

static void
break_compile (void)
{
    /* if ZLIB is not installed, a compile error is generated here */
    NULL = 1;
}

So the compiler will break if HAVE_ZLIB_H is not set.

Check the src/include/config.h.
