Huh? GRASS doesn't include anything called libz.a, so I have no idea
how you ended up overwriting it.

You shouldn't need to do anything special to install both versions. 
Each version will go into its own directory; the only file which is
installed outside of the GRASS directory is the startup script, which
includes the version number in the name (e.g. grass53 or grass61).
