Than you for your reply.
I just installed Oracle Linux 7.6, so there might be issues I don't fully understand.

There is no hint why the system libz is used at all, so my guess was the gcc asks the linker to do it "right" and the linker uses some default paths - but I still dont know why.

I don't see a wrong flag - it just uses the system library before the given one.
Maybe it defaults to shared libraries, does not find any in the given -L paths and uses the system wide?

(highlighting the string "/usr/lib64" will help much to read the following output)
