FWIW, here in GCC land we're not too interested in diverging from the
master zlib sources. I'd prefer in the GCC tree we only make changes
to the build infrastructure if possible (we need the build
infrastructure to match the rest of the tree). My preference would be
to not put this patch into the GCC tree but instead wait until it
appears in an upstream zlib which we import.
