Problems making jffs2 utils

Several questions...
1. Even to build 'erase' only, one still needs zlib?
2. I can't seem to track down the 'common zlib patch' you refer to. Is
this a special patch in support of mtd, or a general patch for zlib
(such that if I get the latest zlib I wouldn't need the patch)?
3. Is the patch particular to a specific version of zlib?
4. Can my target zlib version differ from the host zlib version without
causing problems?
Thanks,
John
