i cant find the scm repo zlib uses (cvs/svn/git/whatever), so i cant check if 
this has been fixed, but $(...) and ${...} are not the same thing.  the former 
is command substitution while the latter is variable substitution.  they are 
not equivalent by any stretch.  if Solaris sucks and doesnt support $(...), 
then you can use `...` assuming you dont nest things.
