It is already multilibbed.  And, just to be clear, all of the local
changes are limited to configury for building.  No .c or .h files have
been modified.  FWIW, our local zlib/ChangeLog.gcj says that the last
change was over 10 months ago.

From what I've understood in this thread, there are no strong
objections to copying the zlib ,v files from the libgcj repository on
sources.redhat.com.  I may do this over the weekend, along with a
patch submission for minor top-level configury changes.  Someone
please let me know if this is not acceptable.
