In my opinion, there is no need for a rebuild. This is just a warning
that upstream deemed useful to include on the program. If tests are
failing because of that, I believe that fitspng tests are the ones that
should be updated to take that behaviour into account (using
allow-stderr and grepping for the 'OK', for example). If zlib's SONAME
hasn't changed, there's not need to link against a newer version.
