Description:
If the system zlib is used by specifying --with-zlib=/usr (for instance), the linker flag '-lz' is appended to the LDADD macro in sql/Makefile.  Unfortunately, that macro also appears in mysqld_DEPENDENCIES, causing make to fail with:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `-lz', needed by `mysqld'.  Stop.

How to repeat:
./configure <blah blah> --with-zlib=/usr
make

Suggested fix:
One might consider different macros for ZLIB_LIBS (what the linker needs) and, say, ZLIB_TARGET (what needs to be built for the linker to succeed), but exactly how this would best work depends on how your local autoconf scripts are designed.

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeat it using current BK sources.
