  That'll probably be the support for zip-compressed debug info sections that
was added to the mainline sources around this time last year.  It can be
disabled by passing "--with-zlib=no" to configure, or apparently also as a
side-effect of "--disable-nls" (according to a quick reading of the configure
scripts, I haven't tested.)
