Description:
Since 8.0.33, `mysql_config --libs` returns the following when built with `-DWITH_SYSTEM_LIBS=ON -DWITH_ZLIB=system` (Homebrew):
```
$ mysql_version --version
8.0.33

$ mysql_config --libs
-L/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/mysql/8.0.33/lib -lmysqlclient -lzlib  -lzstd -lssl -lcrypto -lresolv -lm
```
Note the incorrect `-lzlib` reference. 8.0.32 (Homebrew) returns the correct lib reference, while built with exactly the same flags as 8.0.33:
```
$ mysql_version --version
8.0.32

$ mysql_config --libs
-L/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/mysql/8.0.32/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lzstd -lssl -lcrypto -lresolv -lm
```

How to repeat:
1. Build MySQL with `-DWITH_SYSTEM_LIBS=ON -DWITH_ZLIB=sytem`.
2. Run `mysql_config --libs`.
