Ideally a single zlib could be built supporting both 64 and 32 bit files,
having appropriate variants of the gzio API being referenced for each
and having the API header reference the appropriate version based on the
#defines used.  This would avoid any ABI issues (attempting to use gzio
from an application using LFS never used to work anyway).
