It seems like the problem is with the zlib in Mac OS X then.  I don't
think Emacs can work around the problem; it's probably a Mac OS X bug.
Do you know?  Can you report it, if so?

You can write a custom zlib.pc and publish it on the Emacs Wiki if you
want to help other users in the same situation.
