gcc/ld seems to find libz but ld.so does not seem to.

Try and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libs/ where your libz.so is.
Another way is to add it to your /etc/ld.so.conf (or solaris equivalent
for this file)

I guess it's not the detection but the runtime environment which is
somewhat broken. You'll get the same results under linux if you use
--extra-libs and do not add these paths to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf
