What do

	ls -l /usr/lib/libz.*

and

	ls -l /usr/local/lib/libz.*

and

	ls -l /usr/local/X11R6/lib/libz.*

report?

If more than one of them reports that there's a "libz.a" or "libz.so" or
"libz.so.<number>" file, the problem is probably that you have two or
more different versions of -lz installed on your machine, one or more of
which may be an old version without "gzgets()" and the ne or more of
which may be a newer version that has it; the test done by the configure
script might be finding the newer version whilst the actual link may be
finding the older version.
