Or,

perl -pi~ -e 's/-lmysqlclient/$& -lz/g' configure

Once you're sure that worked, rm configure~, the backup copy

Perl's -i switch preserves permissions and saves a manual 'mv'.
(The $& is simply "the bit that matched")

This is Debian with libc 2.3,

tantrix:~$ for i in z mysqlclient; do echo "*** $i:"; nm /usr/lib/lib$i.a |
        grep compress; done
*** z:
compress.o:
00000000 T compress
000000ac T compress2
00000000 T uncompress
0000192c t compress_block
*** mysqlclient:
         U my_compress
         U my_uncompress
my_compress.o:
         U compress
00000000 T my_compress
00000064 T my_compress_alloc
000000f0 T my_uncompress
         U uncompress
tantrix:~$

So it's in libz too on Debian's latest release (woody).
