Description
We are using static zlib library on linux, which is built without -fPIC flag. And because of that we can't use it to build shared library.
Error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.a(zutil.o): warning: relocation against `z_errmsg' in read-only section `.text'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.a(zutil.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `z_errmsg' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
Current solution is to disable shared lib build. 48a6708

Research direction
Review commit 48a6708 and the repository's shared-library build configuration to find where shared builds are disabled and how zlib is linked. Done means the shared library can be built on Linux with the available static zlib library without the reported relocation error.
