Latest Erlang on Mac OS X Panther

[Sean Hinde]

It appears to be failing to find the already compiled zlib included in 
the erts directory structure. This seems to suggest some weird error 
which causes zlib to be compiled in a way which the linker can't use, 
or some weird new compiler stufff in the final linking stage.

Very odd.
