zlib doesn't build when clang is the default compiler (/usr/bin/cc)

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
When Clang is used as the default compiler (i.e., /usr/bin/cc) then the zlib configure script may fail to properly detect that the compiler is "gcc"-like. This in turn causes the configure script to follow a slightly different code path which then fails to properly compute the shared library extension on Darwin.
This is effectively the same problem as:
but when the compiler path doesn't include clang in it.
The attached patch (also submitted upstream to zlib maintainers) fixes the problem by patching the configure script.

There should be no circumstance in MacPorts when $CC is /usr/bin/cc. See UsingTheRightCompiler for why.
Are you encountering an actual issue with this port in MacPorts? If so, could you describe it or show the error you get?
Are we perhaps in some way forgetting to tell the zlib configure script to use $CC?

It's not using /use/bin/cc … It's using $CC and just not checking for "clang"

I still don't understand what actual problem this was causing for any MacPorts users.
