It's missing. I tried downloading the aarch64 compiler from Ubuntu 13.04  but 
that toolchain is also missing zlib

It does the latter. It passes -lz as linker flags and it fails. 
I ran with --disable-zlib-test and managed to get a bit further but then I 
failed on "ERROR: glib-2.12 gthread-2.0  is required to compile QEMU" 

I found this very old bug where  it suggested to use open-embedded but I'm 
looking for something simpler.
