Description:
The new OpenSSL build (0.9.8i-3) depends on zlib, but after building non of the programs or libraries shows on dependancy for libz.so.1. The problem is the new compile option zlib-dynamic in combination with the shared. I agree that this seems he right way, however only the combination shared zlib gives libraries with have the correct dependancy:

Steps to reproduce:

1) The new BUILDPKG
./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/etc/ssl shared zlib-dynamic -Wa,--noexecstack

[hvdkamer@ve60 lib]$ ldd *.so
libcrypto.so:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffb85fd000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002ac4f2892000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002ac4f2a96000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)
libssl.so:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffff1dfe000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x00002ae7b8f7d000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002ae7b9307000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002ae7b950c000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)


2) A PKGBUILD with the following:
./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/etc/ssl shared zlib -Wa,--noexecstack

[hvdkamer@ve60 lib]$ ldd *.so
libcrypto.so:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff979fe000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b9f13581000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002b9f13785000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002b9f1399b000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)
libssl.so:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffc1bfe000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x00002b6fe929f000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b6fe9629000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002b6fe982e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002b6fe9a43000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)
