Comment:

 Note that this release of id3lib is 17 years old, so breakage on new
 systems is not surprising.

 Since upstream has clearly long abandoned this software, and the port has
 no maintainer, a fix would have to come from a volunteer.

 According to [https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-160763-start-0.html
 this old post], adding `-lz` to your test.c compile line may help. (It
 wasn't necessary for me on High Sierra but I didn't test on Big Sur or
 Monterey nor on Apple Silicon.)
