When I looked into the pipeline (thanks for linking it), this also
jumped into my eye. Note that this happens during a native build pass
and then it really makes sense: There only is a dependency for the host
architecture zlib, but none for the build architecture one. If the
native build pass needs zlib, you need to duplicate the zlib dependency
with a ":native" annotation. Whether that need is real is beyond my
understanding though.

Hope this helps
