Using --without-zlib the error vanishes, however, I still believe that at some point
zlib.h is included twice: once before the definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS and once
afterwards.

I couldn't post using the web interface so I mailed him privately offering access
to the OpenCSW buildfarm:
  http://www.opencsw.org/extend-it/signup/to-upstream-maintainers/

Simon already has an account there, if you want one too I can easily set this up.
