  Apparently, your system is picking up the static zlib library. You
don't have any shared libz.so somewhere around (locate libz.so) ? Try to
move (temporarily...) /usr/local/lib/libz.a somewhere else.

  If that does not work, try compiling a shared version of libz (but
that really should already be the case); see http://www.zlib.net/.

  Just for the record, it is libz that misses the -fPIC flag, not tioga
(as can be seen on the line above the one failing).

  Cheers,
