Yes, but you need to specify libraries at build.

http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html

6.0.9 - Fix for building on host machines that have glibc-2.15.90 installed,
<cut>

- Add support for reading compressed kdump dumpfiles that were
compressed by the snappy compressor. This feature is disabled by
default. To enable this feature, build the crash utility in the
following manner:
(1) Install the snappy libraries by using the host system's package
manager or by directly downloading libraries from author's
website. The packages required are:
- snappy
- snappy-devel
The author's website is: http://code.google.com/p/snappy
(2) Create a CFLAGS.extra file and an LDFLAGS.extra file in top-level
crash sources directory:
- enter -DSNAPPY in the CFLAGS.extra file
- enter -lsnappy in the LDFLAGS.extra file.
(3) Build crash with "make" as always.

6.0.7 - Enhanced the "search" command to allow the searched-for value
<cut>
- Add support to for reading dumpfiles compressed by LZO using
makedumpfile version 1.4.4 or later. This feature is disabled by
default. To enable this feature, build the crash utility in the
following manner:
(1) Install the LZO libraries by using the host system's package
manager or by directly downloading libraries from author's
website. The packages required are:
- lzo
- lzo-minilzo
- lzo-devel
The author's website is: http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo
(2) Create a CFLAGS.extra file and an LDFLAGS.extra file in top-level
crash sources directory:
- enter -DLZO in the CFLAGS.extra file
- enter -llzo2 in the LDFLAGS.extra file.
(3) Build crash with "make" as always.
