Per some reading of the documentation and various patchers it seems
SSL_clear_options() was introduced in 0.9.8m and SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION in
1.0.0. For older versions, the recommended option is to clear the list of
compression methods in order to disable compression:

#ifndef SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION
STACK_OF(SSL_COMP)* comp_methods;
comp_methods = SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods();
sk_SSL_COMP_zero(comp_methods);
#endif

I don’t have an old version handy to try on, so the above is untested.
