Summary:                    zlib problems
Description: 
Many packages are failing to compile because they are unable to find the
zlib headers. This appears to happen regardless of whether or not
installation of zlib headers is enabled in 'make menuconfig'. Zlib headers
have been installed on the development system, and this does not solve the
problem. This has been reproduced with both default and customized
configurations of buildroot.

It appears that I have filed this bug under the architecture-specific
category, so I probably should add that this occurs when targeting x86.

Bug only appears to occur when zlib has been selected for installation.
'make defconfig; make' succeeds.

The problem looks to be a missing symlink in build_<arch>/staging_dir/usr.

When the build fails, cd to build_<arch>/staging_dir/usr and run:

ln -s ../include include

This fixed the problem for me. 

I have not tested it, but I expect that this patch will fix the problem.
