Geez, I can be pretty dense sometimes.  Once I moved my uclibc compiled
libz.so* to $(DEVEL_PREFIX)/lib or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the example
program found the right library and worked as expected:

        $ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        $ ./example
        ./example: linked against GNU libc!
        $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
        $ ./example
        uncompress(): hello, hello!
        gzread(): hello, hello!
        gzgets() after gzseek: hello!
        inflate(): hello, hello!
        large_inflate(): OK
        after inflateSync(): hello, hello!
        inflate with dictionary: hello, hello!

Sorry for the noise.
