thank you. The results with my modification are:

vincent at TORRI ~/provi/zlib-1.2.3
$ make -f win32/Makefile.gcc test
./example
zlib version 1.2.3 = 0x1230, compile flags = 0x55
uncompress(): hello, hello!
gzread(): hello, hello!
gzgets() after gzseek:  hello!
inflate(): hello, hello!
large_inflate(): OK
after inflateSync(): hello, hello!
inflate with dictionary: hello, hello!
echo hello world | ./minigzip | ./minigzip -d
hello world

vincent at TORRI ~/provi/zlib-1.2.3
$ make -f win32/Makefile.gcc testdll
./example_d
zlib version 1.2.3 = 0x1230, compile flags = 0x55
uncompress(): hello, hello!
gzread(): hello, hello!
gzgets() after gzseek:  hello!
inflate(): hello, hello!
large_inflate(): OK
after inflateSync(): hello, hello!
inflate with dictionary: hello, hello!
echo hello world | ./minigzip_d | ./minigzip_d -d
hello world

So I guess that it is correct

PS: there is a library named 'check' that can be used to create easily 
unit tests. Maybe it might interest you to use it for creating such tests.
