Comment:

 There's a potential patch for parts of this issue in
 https://gitlab.com/ahf/tor/merge_requests/22

 Note that the patch does the `NULL` function checks for the zlib backend:
 we might want to consider adding a `tor_assert(0)` in the pathological
 case there since zlib is still required to be able to use Tor.

 I'm marking this `needs_review`, but these patches does not fix everything
 Teor mentioned above. We still need to add checks to `configure` and
 document the weak linking issue.
