You shouldn't need to do this. You shouldn't even need --with-zlib. I
just built libxml-2.4.5.tar.gz under Solaris 8/SPARC with Sun Forte C
5.3 by doing:
  $ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=[blah]
and had no problems with zlib.

Please post the relevant portion of config.log so I can take a look at
the error.
