Then it will be using the built-in libtool, which should be fairly recent. But,
if there are NonStop-specific changes that aren't upstream, you won't get them.
I think this is unlikely to be the issue here, though.

--with-zlib doesn't work this way. It's intended to receive the path to a zlib
installation such as would be created after 'make install' when building zlib.
Specifically, there should be …/include/ and …/lib/ directories underneath this
path. If there isn't such an install path on your system or it contains both
libz.so and libz.a, it won't work. In that case, use --with-zlib and set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to a location of a zlib.pc file that only contains information
on a static libz. Failing even that, then you'll likely have to resort to
setting things like LIBS=/path/to/libz.a an CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/zlib-include/
and hope the existing libz.so doesn't get in the way.
