The zlib peer directory is only used for VC++ builds. When building with
MinGW, you need to use a precompiled zlib.dll. I believe your patch
breaks that dll support :). From the build doc:

"You will need the "zlib" library to build AbiWord. The zlib "compiled
DLL" version can be found at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/. Extract the
complete archive (i.e. headers, library files, and the compiled dll) to
a peer directory named 'libs\zlib\'."
