Description David Bremner 2009-11-29 01:03:49 UTC 
libz  and libnsl are linked to libgmime-2.4.so.2.4.6, so they don't need to be explicitly linked
to the application. The reason for avoiding explicitly linking them is that it creates an unnecessary 
build time dependency on the /usr/lib/libgmime-2.4.so  symlink existing. At least on debian, this 
requires another package to be installed.

I've just fixed this in the appropriate git branches, so these changes will appear in any future release.
