ZLIB and C/++ compilations

If you run into issues were you have zlib or have c as a dependenacy consider setting the following in your env.

# Make libz-sys (git2-rs -> libgit2-sys -> libz-sys) build as a statically linked lib
# This prevents the host zlib from being linked
export LIBZ_SYS_STATIC=1

export CC=o64-clang
export CXX=o64-clang++
