That's good news. Any chance of getting this fix backported to 8.1? Or at least, the libz part of it?

There was a discussion some time back concerning the linking of the postgres backend. Some libraries where linked although they where not needed, mainly because it was convenient.

AIUI, this was fixed in -HEAD. In the Makefile there's a filter command
to strip libraries not needed. One of them is libz.

From src/backend/Makefile:
# The backend doesn't need everything that's in LIBS, however
LIBS := $(filter-out -lz -lreadline -ledit -ltermcap -lncurses -lcurses, 
$(LIBS))

Have a nice day,
