You are right - currently OCamlLibrary does not pay attention to
OCAML_CLIBS, so you'll need to do thinks a bit more manually:

section
   CFILES = mczlib_stub$(EXT_OBJ)
   OCAML_LINK_FLAGS += -cclib -lz $(CFILES)
   OCAMLLIBS = $(OCamlLibrary mlzlib, mlzlib)
   $(OCAMLLIBS): $(CFILES)
   .DEFAULT: $(OCAMLLIBS)
