Porting For The Sun: The Zlib Problem (ld.so.1: exe: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_32:)

With the recent update of the Sun Studio 12 compiler set I started seeing errors like this when compiling for example MySQL from source:

Turns out that it was Zlib 1.2.5 causing the problem.

Both, Zlib and MySQL need to be compiled using the flag

in the compiler settings as well as in the linker flags.
