I've changed my mind, doing that is a very bad idea: "./configure 
--with-zlib=../zlib-1.1.4" or "./configure --with-zlib=/tmp/zlib-1.1.4" 
will result in binaries that are exploitable via a library injection 
attack (including ssh-keysign which is setuid root).

You can specify blibpath at configure time:
blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib ./configure && make

usually comes from bad judgement.
