This is the actual problem.

Some checks in configure are always expected to fail, the most important 
part of the log is the last configure output before the cat of config.log 
starts:

...
checking unicode/uidna.h usability... no
checking unicode/uidna.h presence... no
checking for unicode/uidna.h... no
checking for icu-config... no
checking for uidna_IDNToASCII... checking for zlib.h... not found
configure: error: could not find zlib.h
        "tail -v -n +0 config.log"
==> config.log <==
...


This is likely fallout from the change that libssl-dev no longer 
depending on zlib1g-dev. exposing missing (build)dependencies on
zlib1g-dev elsewhere.
