I just grabbed zlibc-0.9j.tar.gz and tried to build it

It seems to have a typo in Makefile.in

prefix = @prefix@ exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@ bindir = @bindir@ infodir = @infodir@ mandir = @mandir@ infodir = @infodir@ libdir = /lib

I think the last line should be

libdir = @prefix@/lib

At least I had to add the prefix in my case.

Also the infodir is listed twice

Thanks for the note. These changes are now in today's patch.

At one time, the libdir absolutely needed to be /lib, as this was the only place that the shared linker (ld-linux.so) was checking for. However, this is no longer the case, so I added the prefix.
