make: *** [/home/jamie.lahowetz/mxe/usr/installed/zlib] Error 1

the version of zlib is now 1.2.7. seems like this needs to be updated or is there a work around?

It's fixed in the stable branch now, a "git pull" should be all you need to do. If you do want to update to v1.2.7, you can manually modify index.html, or run

make update PKGS=zlib

It should be a safe enough update, but you're probably better off sticking with stable.

Cheers,
