[package] tk/8.6.10: Linking error when mixing shared and static libraries

[cubanpit]

Description

When trying to build the Tk package as shared, it fails with this set of options:

[options]
expat/*:shared=False
fontconfig/*:shared=True
freetype/*:shared=True
zlib/*:shared=False
tcl/*:shared=True
tk/*:shared=True

While it works by only changing these two:

fontconfig/*:shared=False
freetype/*:shared=False

The error can be seen below in the full log, but it seems that zlib is included in the list of libraries to link to (-lz) while its library folder is not listed (-L/missing/libpath), therefore raising the error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz.

I did not find any obvious reason for this issue, and the change in options was a good-enough solution for my case, but I believe this should work (or if it should not, then it should be more obvious why).
