Zlib isn't consistent about the return type of the gz...64 functions.
Should it be z_off_t or z_off64_t?

For instance, when running on Debian/Linux-amd64 and cross-compiling
for win32, the following errors are issued:

$ ./configure --static
Building static library libz.a version 1.2.4.2 with i686-pc-mingw32-gcc.
Checking for off64_t... Yes.
Checking for fseeko... Yes.

Checking for return value of vsnprintf()... Yes.
