..... libxml skipping incompatable -lz ......

["harshavardhanreddy mandeepala" <hvreddy1110 gmail com>]

Hi I am trying to cross compile libxml2-2.6.26 as a dependency for my Gtk Library Xcompilation for ARM11.
Before that i compiled zlib-1.2.3 successfully.
But when i try to cross compile libxml2 it is giving following error.

/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.4-nptl-2/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.1.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld:

cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

As per the error  it is finding the libz in the location but it is saying it is incompatable.
Can anybody suggest that what could be the reason.

Thanks in advance.
