This is quite likely something never tested, as there is no (build related) reason to ever --disable-lz4 - if lz4-dev is not installed, we fall back to our bundled lz4.

Of course there might be strong reasons to just go for an openvpn binary with no compression built in, so that should either work, or error-out in configure right away, with a meaningful error message (maybe it works with "--enable-comp-stub" or some magic of that sort, did not investigate further).
