I've seen that type of error a 100 times in other packages.
It's caused by using zlib 1.26 or greater with software that 
mis-implemented the zlib interface.  At version 1.26 a typedef change 
made the past error apparent.

So some zlib must have been upgraded (base?).  There's going to be a lot 
of fallout from that upgrade.  DragonFly saw this very thing a few 
months ago when the base zlib was updated to 1.27 and suddenly pkgsrc 
packages started failing to build.
