And it is in our manual:
The <productname>zlib</productname> compression library will be
used by default. If you don't want to use it then you must
specify the <option>--without-zlib</option> option for
<filename>configure</filename>. Using this option disables
support for compressed archives in <application>pg_dump</> and
<application>pg_restore</>.
