 From the website:
(Depending on which parts of iPXE you want to build, you may also need 
syslinux (for isolinux), and the zlib and binutils header files.)

I would guess you're missing zlib headers. But thats only a guess. I'm 
guessing that because I have it installed and I don't get that error ;)
