Yes, this *is* a chicken & egg problem. As I said in my original post,
git will build on this machine if I have a configure script to run
first. The configure script explicitly checks for the version of libz
and sets a DEFINE appropriately. Because there is no configure script
provided, and because my autoconf is considered too old, I simply can't
start the build process because I can't generate the missing configure
script.
Other projects put the configure script into source control to avoid
exactly this issue.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
