I tried git on one of our not too updated servers and noticed that 
git-update-index requires zlib >= 1.2, which introduced the *Bound 
functions.

It took a while to track down due to lazy symbol resolution and the fact 
that the problem was hidden by stderr redirection in the first git 
version I tried (some months ago).

Here's a cut'n paste solution if you have sed >= 4.0.9 installed and 
have some sort of aversion to manual editors. Feels a bit silly to send 
a patch for a one-liner.

sed -i 's/^Requires:./&zlib >= 1.2, /' git-core.spec.in
