Is it possible that GDB cross build hasn't been fixed yet?  If I cross
build GDB for arm-none-linux-gnueabi(hf) or aarch64-none-linux-gnu
with below configuration:

../binutils-gdb/configure --enable-64-bit-bfd
--enable-targets=arm-none-eabi,arm-none-linux-gnueabihf,armeb-none-eabi,armeb-none-linux-gnueabihf
--target=arm-none-linux-gnueabihf --disable-doc --disable-gdbtk
--disable-nls --disable-tui --without-python --without-x ...

Yes zlib is built in build directory, and -lz is added on link command
line of as/gdb/sim, but option "-L/home/.../obj/binutils/zlib" is only
added for binutils program, not GDB/SIM.  It seems to me gdb/sim still
use the system z library, rather than the built one.  The readelf -dl
gives below information:
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libdl.so.2]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libtinfo.so.5]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libz.so.1]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libm.so.6]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]


We also do cross build with "build != host == target".  In this
scenario, neither "-lz" and "-L..." option is't added in link command
line for gdb/sim.  And I got below error message:
