Even if your ran strings against the binary and grep'ed for a signature there's no guarantee that you'll find anything. If you had a Makefile you can try looking for -lz, but this could be problematic for Makefiles generated through ./configure. Of course, if you had the sources you'd just rebuild though :(.
