Some packages such as Python/Python3 (host pip/pip3) needs this to compile. More detailed explanation provided by Alexandru: "i need the zlib/host for Python/Python3 ; because, it seems the host pip/pip3 needs this to work ; i suspect in older versions this worked, because some of the host's build env would be used in the build, and then the zlib-dev from the host distro would be used ; now, the host-build does not seem to have any -I/usr/include stuff, which is good and it also seems that Python/Python3 does not like it if the zlib-dev package is too old, so using this zlib/host would be good for this as well" Source: https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/1329#issuecomment-351055861 Signed-off-by: Alexandru Ardelean <ardeleanalex@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Engberg <daniel.engberg.lists@pyret.net>master
