Comment (by sysrqb):

 Replying to [comment:21 nickm]:
 > I'd actually like to deprecate the TOR_SEARCH_LIBRARY nonsense if
 possible, and not add its use for zlib.  (I don't understand why this
 patch starts using TOR_SEARCH_LIBRARY for zlib, but I assume it's
 necessary? Can we use pkg-config instead?)

 Hrm, it shouldn't. I simply moved the zlib check from being after the
 openssl checks to being before it (because openssl depends on zlib).

 Nope, that is possible. I ran into that, too. Do you have glibc-static
 installed? `-lc` is probably resulting in an error due to the lack of a
 static library. I should've added a more helpful error message for this
 case. I can do that.
