I tried the current git version and it doesn't have this problem, so I
guess there's no point in trying to figure it out. A very minor patch to
make it build on FreeBSD below. Another minor issue is that configure
fails because pkg-config doesn't know about zlib, since it's part of the
"base system" on FreeBSD. It (configure) says that "you may set the
environment variables ZLIB_CFLAGS and ZLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to
call pkg-config" (they just need to be "" and "-lz", respectively), but
this doesn't actually work, i.e. pkg-config is called anyway. I just
commented out the call in configure.in...
