- pg_fatal("not built with zlib support");
+ pg_fatal("this build does not support compression with %s", "gzip");
I tried to say in the other thread that gzip != zlib.
This message may be better for translation, but (for WriteDataToArchive
et al) the message is now less accurate, and I suspect will cause some
confusion.
5e73a6048 introduced a similar user-facing issue: pg_dump -Fc -Z gzip
does not output a gzip.
$ ./tmp_install/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -h /tmp -Fc -Z gzip regression |xxd |head

I'm okay with it if you think this is no problem - maybe it's enough to
document that the output is zlib and not gzip.
Otherwise, one idea was to reject "gzip" with -Fc. It could accept
integers only.
BTW I think it's helpful to include the existing participants when
forking a thread.
