DSO is something like an auto-symbol-resolver (so linking in libraries
that are used by other directly-linked libraries, google for with with
fedora).
DSO is deactivated on fedora, therefor you need to pass each library
required to the linker.
In the above case you need to additionally pass -lz to the linked (e.g.
using LDLAGS=-lz), as suggested by gcc (which says: is defined in)
