  What's supposed to happen is that ac-library.construct
returns a target representing -lz.  When boost_iostreams
is built as a static library, it propagates this target
to its dependencies as a <library> usage requirement.
I would recommend --debug-building and/or --debug-generators,
but that just shows the dependency as <library>object(file-target)@NNN
which is not really useful.

  Okay, try building just one test target with
`--debug-building --debug-generators -n -d0`.
There are two things that you should be looking
for in the output.  First of all, there should
be two lines like this:

         Usage requirements for boost_iostreams:  ...
         Build properties:  ... <install-dependencies>off
<library>object(file-target)@4855 ...

If the <library> is missing, then that means that zlib is
not being passed to the boost_iostreams target.

The second line to look for is:
         Usage requirements from boost_iostreams:  <include>.
<library>object(file-target)@4855 <relevant>address-model ...

If there is no library here, then that means the problem
is in the propagation of static libraries.
