Hello Paolo,

The following patch got approved for binutils and GDB, but I just
realized that config/zlib.m4 should probably be approved by a GCC
maintainer.  I was just wondering if ou wouldn't mind taking a look
at the new config/zlib.m4?

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).
