 Mark Adler continues to state that we should not patch zlib, but that the
 error should be corrected in each program experiencing this error.

 the correct solution, which is to use _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 instead of
 _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.  This error may cause other problems later with those
 packages.  In general it is far better to correct errors at the source
 than to workaround errors elsewhere.  And the fix is simple.
