The last argument in the command above gives a directory name
(/usr/freeware/lib32/libz) -- but I would normally expect this to be
followed by a parameter that specifies a library name (e.g., -lz).

This could be a problem in Freeciv, or it could be a problem with your
zlib installation.  (Or both.)  Unfortunately, I know very little about
Irix (though maybe someone else reading this list knows more).  Please
check:

  * Does /usr/freeware/lib32/libz contain libz.a?

  * If Irix uses shared libraries, what file extension does it use for
    them?  Check for a "libz" file with that extension (e.g., "libz.so").
    Shared libs are quite a bit more complex to deal with, so there may
    be other things to check if this is the case....

  * Look in config.log (in the top-level freeciv directory) for any clues.
    If configure created the Makefiles, then it must have thought that it
    found a working zlib, but then for some reason the correct linker flags
    were never put into the Makefiles.
