zlib upstream devel ML sees almost no patch traffic and the last release was done in January 2017 (https://zlib.net/), so I'd like to get the following patch fix added directly to Gentoo. https://madler.net/pipermail/zlib-devel_madler.net/2022-January/003322.html Eventually when zlib upstream merges it and a new release is cut, we can drop it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: zlib configure defaults to ${CROSS_PREFIX}ar if it exists which can point to GNU ar/ranlib/nm instead of llvm-ar & co. GNU tools are still required for eg to build glibc, so they are common to be used in pure LLVM build setups. Actual Results: Builds use a mix of GNU & LLVM even though NM/AR/RANLIB variables are set to the llvm counterparts. Expected Results: The patch makes configure respect the NM/AR/RANLIB variables.

The reason we're adding it directly here is zlib upstream takes forever to release new versions and there's not much activity for some time (last release was in Jan 2017).

Looks like a simple fix but let's not risk leaving zlib broken in stable (nor for too long, so reverting myself). This reverts commit bace9b48a6fe43bdf685f4aa81ca422130e2f807.
