zconf.h header file is missing for 32 bits arch

[Jerome Marc]

zconf.h was moved to multiarch directory (zlib1g-dev package) because it contains an arch dependant declaration.
Problem is programs using zlib doesn't compile anymore using 32bits target arch. (zconf.h is not found)

I suppose a 32 bits version of zconf.h should be added into lib32z1-dev package ?

Forgive me if this should be obvious, but how does one work around this?
