I did a bit more research on this issue and I get this if I build gdb 
from it's source directory

in binutils-gdb
./configure
make

make fails with : while in zlib directory

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: executing default-1 commands
./config.status: line 1190: ./../../config-ml.in: No such file or directory

However if I build out of tree in like binutils-gdb/build for example I 
do not get this issue.

Could this be related to 92c695a14f6a5a24b177e89624c13d7dbcbf9e1f ?

Subject: [PATCH 09/76] A zlib to tarball

I see this snippet there

-    ./configure --target=i386-pc-linux-gnu
+    ./configure --target=i386-pc-linux-gnu \
+       --with-target-subdir=. \
+       --disable-multilib

With these options I get around the configure problem only to fail in 
gas with :

Did you try to compile directly in the src tree ?
