As long as it is not used by GCC configury, I don't think people mind
here. The only suggestion I have is to have [default=auto] somewhere in
the help string.
BTW, zlib is always distributed with GCC so we always include zlib
support (and instead of --with-zlib, there is a --with-system-zlib flag
that does what you expect). Maybe you could do the same for binutils
and gdb? In that case, centralizing the test in AM_ZLIB is certainly
desirable, and gcc may pick up the macro later or parts of it.
(Though there's no zlib in src, so probably you'd have to contact DJ
Delorie to have it included in his list of autosynced directories).
