OK - I will add it.

Yes, Tom Tromey also mentioned that. Right now, I am more interested
in being able to build without zlib (we find its usefulness in GDB to be
marginal for us), but maybe the day will come when GDB/binutils must be
built with zlib, in which case I'll adjust zlib.m4 accordingly.
Thank you!
