Bug description:
  Pull request (https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410) and tagged
  https://github.com/iii-i/zlib/tree/dfltcc-20200511.

  The new code contains the following improvements:
  * Added support for switching between software and hardware compression.
  * Added --dfltcc configure flag (the old way of building it still works).

  Switching between software and hardware compression is not simply a
  nice-to-have feature, but is actually required by Java - that's why we
  are requesting an update.
