There's something wrong with your version of gcc. What version are you
using? I tried 2.95.3 and didn't have *any* problems. Is your version
of GCC using GNU ld? The version I built with uses Sun as/ld.

Anyway, copy the following to a test file and send me the output:
  $ gcc -v test.c -lz
  $ cat test.c
char gzread();

int main() {
gzread()
; return 0; }
