No problem; but until the underlying design flaw in zconf.h.in is fixed,
there is no point in these changes.  Users should not have to confer with
their local open source psychic to discover -Doff64_t magic is required to
compile against zlib.  It should Just Work(TM).

IMHO things such as gzopen64 should never simply be #define'd around, but
aught to be exported as well if they are implemented (even as an identity
of gzopen, for example).  So there is more work here than meets the eye.
