I believe the suggestion was to do an autoconf configure style run time test that uses the compiler to create an executable to test the actual size.

Unfortunately it doesn't work in cross-compiled environments because the resultant runtime won't run on the system building zlib (the build host not the target host.)  Anyway, it doesn't work because zlib 'configure' is not a GNU/autoconf configure.
