Bug 407215 – Update bootstrap-prefix.sh to use zlib 1.2.6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Richard Yao (RETIRED) 2012-03-07 02:45:42 UTC]

There is a bootstrap failure on ppc64-linux that is fixed by switching to zlib 1.2.6. According to upstream, zlib 1.2.6 has "Many portability improvements", which is also evident from the change log:

Please update the bootstrap-prefix.sh script either to use 1.2.6 or to include it.
