NGINX "--with-zlib=..." linker error

[Fabiano Furtado Pessoa Coelho]

Hi Maxim...

I have a ./configure error with two or more parameters on "--with-zlib-opt=...".

I've tried:
  * --with-zlib-opt=-O2 -fPIC
  * --with-zlib-opt="-O2 -fPIC"
  * --with-zlib-opt='-O2 -fPIC'
  * --with-zlib-opt=-O2-fPIC
  * --with-zlib-opt=\-O2\ \-fPIC
... and none of these syntax works.

It works with only one parameter and my solution is to modify the
auto/cc/gcc file.

Thinking about a possible RHEL .spec file bug, I also tried in Arch
Linux, modifying PKGBUILD file and got the same issue.

Thanks again for your help.
