As found out by Yann [1], if zlib is not provided by the system,
binutils will use a bundled version. So use --with-system-zlib which is
available since version 2.21 and
https://github.com/bminor/binutils-gdb/commit/700d40ca16eb3ba1ecc1e602cb3eec175bdf70f0

This will fix the following build failure with oprofile:

checking for bfd_openr in -lbfd... no
checking for compress in -lz... no
configure: error: libz library not found; required by libbfd

As found out by Arnout [1], this fails infrequently because static is
already pretty rare, but in addition zlib is almost always selected by
some other package.

Fixes:
