It seems that zlib is missing the magic spell in libiberty, namely:

if test "${srcdir}" = "."; then
  if test -z "${with_target_subdir}"; then
    libiberty_topdir="${srcdir}/.."
  else
    if test "${with_target_subdir}" != "."; then
      libiberty_topdir="${srcdir}/${with_multisrctop}../.."
    else
      libiberty_topdir="${srcdir}/${with_multisrctop}.."
    fi
  fi
else
  libiberty_topdir="${srcdir}/.."
fi
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($libiberty_topdir)

Currently, its configure.in reads:

AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(..)

which is probably inappropriate.
