Hmm, results of following command are same on x86 and sparc?

% grep ZLIB_VERSION /usr/include/zlib.h

Default dependency pattern on zlib is defined in devel/zlib/buildlink3.mk:
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.zlib+=    zlib>=1.1.4nb1

Then wireshark and p5-Compress-Raw-Zlib require newer zlib
In wireshark/Makefile:
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.zlib=     zlib>=1.2.1
In devel/p5-Compress-Raw-Zlib:
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.zlib+=    zlib>=1.2.3

Diffs of dpendency pattern between x86 and sparc mean that
devel/zlib/builtin.mk recognize sparc's zlib as newer than 1.2.3
and x86's one as older than 1.2.1.
