Actually, Libtool evaluates the dependencies of libotf.la where -lz should appear:
$ cat otflib/libotf.la | grep dependency_libs # Linker flags that can not go in dependency_libs. dependency_libs=' -lz' In base of that Libtool should add -lz to the linker command line, or not? However, adding -lz to otfcompress_LDADD in .../otfcompress/Makefile.am doesn't should hurt.
