pg_dumpall -g the_database -f globals.sql

psql -d other_database -f globals.sql

Though this will include other global objects e.g. tablespaces.

See:

You can use pg_dumpall with the --globals-only parameter to create a SQL script
that contains all roles from the source server

Thank you, Adrian!
