As long as libz is linked dynamically you can download zlib-1.1.4 from

Sure, I figured so from the announcement. But even in a SuSE system quite a few statically linked binaries remain. That is why I would like information from someone knowledgeable if the MALLOC_CHECK_ variable can be used as an emergency aid for unsupported systems.

We can't make sure that this workaround does indeed work, which is why I didn't mention it. I personally don't trust such a workaround. Basically, it's easiest to rpm --rebuild the 6.4 rpm on an older system. The binary rpm should work seamlessly.
