As usual, "many bug fixes" means "old bugs fixed, new bugs added".
The zlib-1.2.6's Makefile.in now can't be parsed by Solaris's make,
but shipped Makefile calls "make" as a hardcoded command for
distclean target. You may try the following patch (against
zlib-1.2.6) to see if it helps (and report the problem to zlib
folks):

--- Makefile.orig Tue Apr 17 20:39:34 2012
+++ Makefile Tue Apr 17 20:39:48 2012
@@ -2,4 +2,4 @@
-@echo "Please use ./configure first. Thank you."

distclean:
- make -f Makefile.in distclean
+ ${MAKE} -f Makefile.in distclean

If you want to just compile nginx, the fix should be as trivial as
running ./configure in zlib's directory once.
