I don't know. I have been compiling and installing things like
zlib, libjpeg, libpng, and GNU make, I haven't seen and similar  
complaints
I haven't seen any other error messages from software specific to  
`libz.a'.

I hope I can get past this. It is tying up the process of building php  
with
gd with freetype support.

What does "recompile with -fPIC" mean? Obviously, in trial, it is not
an option to /usr/local/bin/make (unless the syntax is wrong)

I.E.
/usr/local/bin/make -fPIC
