The complaint appears to be about the gcc "-lz" flag.  Results in:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/6.3.1/../../../libz.so when searching for
-lz
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libz.so when searching for -lz
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libz.so when searching for -lz
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status


I still suspect a package problem.  It might serve me well to simply
uninstall gcc and it's related libraries and start again.
