Unfortunately I can't think of a simple change to make gzipped dump and restore optional; somewhat ironically we actually need the later zlib for dumping uncompressed backups. This is clearly not a feature we want to take away. I guess it would be possible to write a compat shim on top of zlib that implemented the passthrough that we need. Tomi Ollila, who runs notmuch on various old systems, might a have a comment about that. Meanwhile, unlike libc, it should be possible to compile a newer zlib. d
