Try FEATURES="-distcc" emerge -1 zlib because a user had this same problem today, and it helped him; ./configure disabled shared libs building with distcc. Also, attach full build.log.
After hitting this for a couple of weeks, I finally took some time to check what was going on. It seems that ccache and distcc are getting in the way of detection script of zlib, working in $WORKDIR after a build failure, here is what happens: # export PATH=/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.3 # LC_ALL="C" ./configure --shared --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib Checking for shared library support...

Building like this: # FEATURES="-ccache -distcc" emerge -1v zlib is a nice success.
Created attachment 227531 [details] archive of tmpdir for zlib-1.2.4 build failure
should be fixed now, thanks http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/zlib/zlib-1.2.4.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
