I did as you suggested, by adding the two new CFLAGS options to the 
'makefile',
and also by executing the last command to compile straight from a console.
Unfortunately, neither one showed anything new or unexpected.

I've decided to try another Debian version, perhaps Etch (4.0r4a), and 
see if I have
better luck there.

Two questions. When you build the zlib library, do you use the 
cross-compiler, or
do you use the native Linux compiler? I've tried them both, but, of 
course, neither
one gave me a library file that GPG 2.0.9 could use.
And when you build the zlib library, is the file 'libz.a' the only file 
that you will be
using, other than the two header files, zlib.h and zconf.h?

Thanks again, Mr. Koch.
