[Bug 1882494] [NEW] [UBUNTU 20.04] zlib not working on all s390x systems configurations

[bugproxy]

Public bug reported:

Pull request (https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410) and tagged
https://github.com/iii-i/zlib/tree/dfltcc-20200511.

The new code contains the following improvements:
* Added support for switching between software and hardware compression.
* Added --dfltcc configure flag (the old way of building it still works).

Switching between software and hardware compression is not simply a
nice-to-have feature, but is actually required by Java - that's why we
are requesting an update.

** Affects: zlib (Ubuntu)
