Re: update zlib to 1.2.8

In GCC zlib is only used for libjava; for binutils and gdb it is used when

show any regressions in the testsuite.  Ok to apply (even if we already are
in stage3)?

Should not be a problem for GDB, since we're not near branching time.

Out of curiosity, what prompted this update? Just to be in sync with
the latest? Or was there an actual bug that you hit which 1.2.8 fixes?

No, just a packaging issue with somebody mentioning a static binutils build. That's when I saw the outdated version.

Now updated in the GCC VCS.
