openssl with zlib support

Dear All,
 	Are there any reason to not enabling zlib compression for TLS in 
openssl on FreeBSD ?

My colleague tested with some different platforms:

user at host:~$ openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect linuxmachine.hu:https
</dev/null 2>/dev/null | grep Compression
Compression: zlib compression
    Compression: 1 (zlib compression)

user at host:~$ openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect freebsdmachine.hu:https
</dev/null 2>/dev/null | grep Compression
Compression: NONE

Would it break ABI if I enable it by tweaking the openssl Makefile?
