Description
Linux distros prefer shared libraries over vendor it whenever possible, and zlib-ng is (at least) available on Arch Linux. I am wondering if we can support dynamic linking in libz-ng-sys?
I would like to help and create a PR, but we may need to discuss how to expose this feature first, if it is acceptable.

Start by reviewing libz-ng-sys and the current approach to linking zlib-ng, then examine the Arch Linux package cited in the issue. The issue first needs agreement on how dynamic linking should be exposed; done means that behavior and its expected support are clearly defined.
