Bug Description

Running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, release 14.04.

Last Wednesday (Sept 24, 2014) I was able to compile the Libharu (libharu.org) pdf library with no issues whatsoever. Since the bash bug automatic update(s), I can no longer compile this code. I also have an identical laptop also running Ubuntu 14.04 BUT I have not allowed automatic updates on it for at least 2-3 weeks. On the non-updated laptop, the libharu pdf library compiles with no errors.

To duplicate the error:
- download libharu-libharu-RELEASE_2_3_0RC3-8-gec89be4.tar.gz from libharu.org ("Download TAR Ball" link)
- tar -xvzf libharu-libharu-RELEASE_2_3_0RC3-8-gec89be4.tar.gz
- cd libharu-libharu-ec89be4/
- ./buildconf.sh
- ./configure
- make clean
- make

Errors with zlib.h will be encountered when compiling hpdf_image_png.c. Again, on an identical laptop that hasn't had an update to ubuntu, this compiles without error.
