As noted in the updated commit message this approach of having an
object just for this fallback function comes at the cost of some
complexity, but now the compat object lives neatly in its own object.

I do not see any change in this patch adding costly complexity, but I notice lack of
one possible trick that might become problem with some compilers and linkers
when their zlib has uncompress2() function.  Let's have this graduate very early in
the next cycle, to see if anybody on a rarer system sees a complaint due to having
to deal with a totally empty object file.

Will queue.

On behalf of the "rarer systems", I will certainly be putting this through the regression suite.
With thanks,

I know you are on a rarer system, but I also know you need a real
replacement code in the compat object file, so your linker will not
be dealing with an empty object file.

Thanks.
