I reported this bug to the authors of the zlib and they confirmed the bug
and the workaround. But even if they fix the current zlib, the jdk uses an
older version, so this will not help us now, or?

That would break. Probably just prevents libzip.so from loading because of
missing imports. Okay, I can try to build a different workaround which
leaves the zlib alone.
