zlib-1.2.5-r1.ebuild contains appropriate bug numbers:

The gentoo patch looks wrong to me, but I don't understand why the *64API declarations are repeated after line 1613 of zlib.h, initially with z_off64_t then with z_off_t (which, I think, must be z_off64_t at the second declaration.)

>#2: why the dirty sed hack on configure instead of a clean patch ?

See comment #6.  I guess he got fed up hand editing every one at every release ;-)
