The zlib-1.2.3-fPIC-1.patch patch builds the static library with -fPIC. Some of the advantages of static linking are lost with this. Fedora uses this patch:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/zlib/zlib-1.2.3-autotools.patch
Fedora's patch builds each object twice, once with -fPIC, and again without.
The downside is that Fedora's patch becomes 1.3MB after autoreconf is run.
I suggest we use neither patch and go back to how it was before. The current patch compiles libz.a incorrectly.

Reverted to building static and dynamic libraries separately.
Fixed at r8932.

Re-opening this ticket. The patch is still referenced in Chapter 3 - Patches.
Bruce, I'll let you do that part or at least comment that is can be removed in case there's something I missed. I believe it's just a left-over from revision 8932's commit where you reversed the zlib installation back to its two passes.
