Ok here is your valid reason

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --shared --libdir=/lib || return 1
  make || return 1
  make check 2>&1 | tee $startdir/check-log
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install || return 1
  rm -v $pkgdir/lib/libz.so || return 1
  install -d -m 0755 $pkgdir/usr/lib || return 1
  ln -sfv ../../lib/libz.so.1.2.3 $pkgdir/usr/lib/libz.so || return 1
