As found out by Yann [1], binutils will use its bundled copy of zlib, whether it is already provided by the system or not, and unless explicitly told to use the system zlib with --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 when compiling in a static configuration where zlib is not enabled: 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.

The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools:
|
|
|
|
ld - the GNU linker.
|
|
as - the GNU assembler.

and others...
